Hello,
I tried to build kontact-trinity on Debian Bullseye with the sources I got from the Trinity repos.
At first I used "apt source kontact-trinity" to get the sources. Then I ran "apt build-dep kontact-trinity" to get the dependencies. The next step was to run debuild (from the devscripts package). Finally, I tried to install all the deb-packages. For most packages that was no problem, but I couldn't install tdepim-trinity-dgb, tdepim, kmail, kmailcvt, korn, and kontact (I don't write the whole package name, but they look like kontact-trinity_14.0.11-0debian11.0.0+0_amd64.deb) because dependencies are missing. The messages look like this one: "[...]dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of kontact-trinity: kontact.trinity depends on kmail-trinity; however: Package kmail-trinity is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing package kontact-trinity [...]".
I expected that I would be able to install all packages because apt source and apt build-dep should get all packages I need to install kontact-trinity.
Can you help me with this problem?
Greetings, Christoph

I found out that some runtime-dependencies were missing which I could install with "apt --fix-broken install".

It's good to hear that you successfully resolved it.
KMail arises from the tdepim package as well as Kontact, so all the necessary libraries should be installed. But dependencies such as gpg-agent and pinentry-tqt are not needed at build-time but afterwards at run-time. Therefore, there was a need to use "--fix-broken install".
