In my case it is, because I am subscribed via gmane, but sent my 
last two mails with my MUA ... ;)

Not any longer ... ;) As I have written below, I have purged it a 
couple of day ago ... ;)

Something like that ... ;) But only for daily builds or pre-releases 
... ;)

Parallel to my installed 4.1.0.4? I mean, I have parallel installed 
LO Version: 4.1.1.0.0+
Build ID: 0fa175d2ce8a0d21fced2c5f61528797d919c0f
TinderBox: Linux-x86_64 at 31-Release-Configuration-RHEL5-Baseline, 
Branch:libreoffice-4-1, Time: 2013-07-25_10:13:25, but would like to 
avoid it to install it system wide ... ;)

My 4.1.0.4 version is installed as root via "dpkg -i ...", but even 
though I can not start LO from KDE's menu ... :(
Thanks for your answer
