Yep - especially given the compile times involved I really hate to
see that happen.

The problem is that in some cases, PyKDE will build against later
versions (eg PyKDE-3.3.2 will build against everything through sip
3.5 - it just lacks up-to-date KDE stuff) and in other cases it
won't (as PyKDE-3.5 won't work with sip 3.6).
I'm going to see if I can handle this somehow so it doesn't occur
again. The simplest solution is to provide snapshot releases like
Phil does - at the moment I don't find that feasible for PyKDE, but
down the road it should be. Otherwise, I need to do some work on
PyKDE's build.py and also on the PyKDE sip files.
If Phil releases in about 2 weeks (as he indicated in his reply to
you) PyKDE-3.6 should be ready shortly after and the problem (for
now) will disappear again. Still needs to be addressed though.
