Hi, the contrib build environment is in rather bad shape atm, the problem is this: /opt/arkbuild-client/bin/do-updbuildroot: line 35: /bin/rpm: Argument list too long In short, through package additions and splits, the command line generated by the "rpm -Fvh i586/* noarch/* contrib/i586/* contrib/noarch/*" command is too long to be handled by the shell. We'll probably have to hack the build system to do some variant of apt-get -y dist-upgrade instead of rpm -Fvh (downside: This will definitely break for temporary dependency issues, e.g. when we move to KDE 4.0 and something in the tree [everything when we start moving] still needs KDE 3.x libs, apt-get will refuse to do its job). Until this is resolved, please don't build anything in contrib, it'll fail anyway. I'll drop a note to devel-list when I've come up with a fix, if someone beats me to it or has a better idea for a fix, please let me know. LLaP bero
