(or perhaps ascii, since you mention netinstall?) I seem to recall that you were still running Wheezy. I bring up this question because I haven't been able to upgrade to stretch/ascii for similar reasons, but am still stuck with jessie. It runs great now (after a long process of pruning, tweaking, grooming and other fiddling round); but when I try to upgrade to stretch/ascii, it's always these same few problems that prevent my continuing, and Kmail is one of the big problems. When I boot up now (in Devuan Jessie), I get an error window about rebuilding indices, etc. (which, I admit, bothers me); but then, I click on a button to rebuild, and it's done quickly and painlessly, so it doesn't bother me enough to worry, cuz I gots all my emails and that's what matters for NOW. But later ... when at last I am forced to upgrade ... ? In stretch/ascii, though, I don't even have this option; I just don't have a working Kmail. My other issue is with wireless networking, which is unavailable to me in ascii/stretch, due to some renaming of the wifi interface (or a deeper issue, perhaps) from wlan0 (in jessie) to wlx00027288d1fd (in stretch/ascii). This is probably an issue unrelated to Kmail, but maybe not? Also, I cannot tell if it is a problem only with TDE, or is more an issue with Devuan, or the Ascii release. In any case, I would like someday to upgrade to Devuan Ascii, and maybe go even farther, to Buster, etc. So I want to solve these problems now, so that later I won't be lost in the wilderness without a working computer.
