[Kmymoney] Re: kmymoney 4.5.3 installation

[Alvaro Soliverez]

Hello Winston,
I don't know who told you the tarball would install, but that's just not true.
The 4.5.3 version contains some fixes, but unless you hit those
particular problems that were solved in that version, I'd recommend
you to stick to the version found on your distro.

Regards,
Alvaro
