No need to get carried away with this list. :) Poppler should not need to be rebuilt--see this code in the GIT tree: http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/tdegraphics/tree/kfile-plugins/dependencies/poppler-tqt If something else depends on Poppler being rebuilt then there is a problem that needs to be fixed. Upstream will not support Qt3 and we cannot ask users to install modified versions of base system packages. Tim
