Frankly, it wouldn't hurt to point out in that remark that the Debian packages are out-dated and that posters with issues shouldn't expect support for them.  You know they are out of date.  We users don't necessarily.

I'm aware of that.  But having them provide outdated packages can't help you.  So it's in your interests to point this out.

Regardless of my progress on this, I still can't find the NLS and String pear packages in the pear.horde.org channel that you assert are required for Funambol clients to work.  Your assistance on that at least would be appreciated.


3. If you want to use the Funambol clients, you also need iCalendar, String and NLS:

pear install --force -c pear.horde.org iCalendar String NLS

Thanks.
