Specifically note that this is not V.x.0.  I know better than to even 
install that.  I figure, however, that if a major screw up was allowed 
to slip into the ".0" that by ".2" that it will either be fixed or 
removed.  WRONG.

Linux from Scratch is a distribution.

Yes, but they both have *.ics files.  I was rather surprised when I saw 
pop up messages about KAlarm when it was supposedly migrating KNotes 
files.  I tried this again and apparently it was just a coincidence.

Didn't help.

I find that I still have the old files.  Removing the new Akondi files 
and restarting KDE restored my alarms.  But only once.  Perhaps I was 
lucky or perhaps it was because there were active alarms pending.

So, basically, now I have two applets that I found useful that don't 
work.  This is not what a user should expect on a STABLE release.
