Bzzzt! I was hoping I would be able to install Kolab without contacting every 
maintainer of every software involved. That may not be necessary, but this is 
a bad precedent. It would be awfully nice if you put up a warning to 
Slackware users on the Kolab home page that you simply don't support their 
distro. I will explore alternatives to Kolab before I try to contact Openpkg 
people.
