That was in scratchbox, not on the phone. I still wait for the postman ;)

Ah, I have not looked close enough:

Unpacking mysql-server-5.0 (from .../mysql-
server-5.0_5.0.89-1maemo9_armel.deb) ...
addgroup: Only root may add a user or group to the system.
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-
server-5.0_5.0.89-1maemo9_armel.deb (--unpack):
 subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

So I guess I needed to become root previously. Interesting that I may still 
install packages without being full root. Or this is just a scratchbox issue 
because it runs as unpriviliged user at the end?

gpg2 is fine. I "only" need the headers of kdepimlibs and kdelibs AFAIK. You 
could try to build kdeutils to see if something is missing ;)

I just looked for "kdepimlibs-devel" package which seems to not exist. Maybe 
they are just called different? Where would the headers usually be installed 
to?
