This bug report confuses me. The blocking bug blames the libpisock8 to libpisock9 transition. Now that is understandable because it is a LARGE change.

This bug report deals only with one of the pilot-link conduits: pilot-addresses *not* libpisock8|9 itself.

kpilot should only be calling libpisock itself, not trying to parse the output of a pilot-link conduit (because it depends on libpisock, not pilot-addresses) so I think that this is an incorrect block assignment.

Just because pilot-addresses no longer deals with certain addressbook formats, does *not* mean that libpisock is to blame. The change in the address handling on the Palm is completely independent of the transition in libpisock.

I've tested with my own package, pilot-qof, and libpisock9 is perfectly capable of syncing the addresses when called directly using the libpisock9 API.

Yes, pilot-addresses is limited in it's current form but the original bug in kpilot is far more likely to be caused by kpilot not making sufficient upstream changes to migrate to the libpisock9 API.

libpisock8 was part of pilot-link 0.11 and pilot-link 0.12 took three years to be released - there are significant changes, hence the API change from 8 to 9.

I fail to see how 394534 can be blocked by 393792.
