[ Readding Igor to the Cc list, since he is the Ubuntu maintainer for Kexi.
Removing debian-qt-kde at lists.debian.org, see below. ]

That's what I did. The text in my first email was the one I wrote in the
bug (ticket, issue, whatever) I created in Launchpad. The URL is at the end

Again, sorry for having bothered the Debian Qt/KDE list, this is a
Ubuntu-specific issue.
