[manjaro-dev] Cannot post messages to Manjaro forum? Server returns "504 timeout".

[Philip Müller]

Hi Simon,

seems we have to provide a modified kdepimlibs to our KF5 repository 
(@Anex, can you take a look at it?). For now you can install package 
pulling kdepimlibs without it. You can use the -d switch for that.

kind regards
Phil
