Abstract: Suppose that the linear operator

T

maps

X_{0}

compactly to

Y_{0}

and also maps

X_{1}

boundedly to

Y_{1}

. We deal once again with the 51 year old question of whether

T

also always maps the complex interpolation space

[X_{0}, X_{1}]_{h} e t a

compactly to

[Y_{0}, Y_{1}]_{h} e t a

. This is a short preliminary version of our promised technical sequel to our earlier paper arXiv:1410.4527 on this topic. It contains the following two small new partial results: (i) The answer to the above question is yes, in the particular case where

Y_{0}

is a UMD-space. (ii) The answer to the above question is yes for given spaces

X_{0}

,

X_{1}

,

Y_{0}

and

Y_{1}

if the answer to the "dualized" or "adjoint" version of the question for the duals of these particular spaces is yes. In fact we deduce (i) from (ii) and from an earlier result obtained jointly by one of us with Nigel Kalton. It is remarked that a proof of a natural converse of (ii) would answer the general form of this question completely.
