Ah, yes.  I need to rebuild the opensync packages against the new GPE 
libraries.  I have not got around to that because I have been working on 
other problems (I am still seeing a problem synchronising with remote 
opensync at the moment).  And, I will admit, because I thought no one else 
was using them and have been too lazy!

I will try to build new opensync packages using the recent opensync release.  
I don't think I will be able to get to this until the weekend, however.

If you really want to try this out before I create new packages you could try 
fetching the packages by hand and using dpkg --force-depends 
(or --force-depends-version if that works).  But I don't recommend it.

I don't know.  Is this time tracker a GPE component which I should add to the 
list of packages I build together?

You may want to use opensync on the system running Evolution (connecting to 
the 770 remotely), instead of on the 770 itself.  That would avoid the need 
for the maemo opensync packages.
