Package: installation Severity: important
I have tried my best to have SynCE working... but it didn't work. The instructions found on their website are really confusing, but Debian itself could make SynCE installation a LOT easier with some clean-up. SynCE has a lot if inter-dependant packages but it seems that the packages dependencies in Debian repositories are not set correctly or they are missing. For the moment, there are packages both related to version 0.11 (already outdated) and 0.9, such as synce-kde, synce-hal and synce-dccm. Some of them, like raki (part of synce-kde) are reported to be not even maintained anymore. This makes up for a hell,specially because there is a lot of packages (opensync? odccm? librra2?) which are pointed by SynCE website as fundamental for the installation, and some of them simply conflict with each other in Debian! A normal user (I mean, not someone involved in SynCE development) simply can't have all the needed packages automatically selected and installed to have the whole thing working. Ideally, installing a package such as synce-kpm should deal with all the background stuff needed, but this is not what is happening. Possibly, I guess, a "metapackage" could be created; but a more immediate solution seems to be an update of all packages for the newest version 0.12 and a complete dependencies check-up.
