Thanks Miroslaw,

Ubuntu offers the possibility to upgrade
or install KDE 4.9 easily, not Debian ... !
I will see to migrate to Ubuntu.

I tried to compile the package KDE 4.9,
success with QT, some packages "dev",
and, at a moment, the system asks for some
"kde-headers" (?) ... without more precision :
blocked !

I need KDE 4.9, because I use Kmail
and the bugs have been resolved
with the 4.9 version.

I hope that Wheezy will be prompted released
or avalaible even in testing ...

Now I use TDE (Trinity Desktop Environment),
seems to be KDE 3.X and works good even kmail.

See you.
