Please consider patching upstream bug 172182 in kdelibs5



Hi,

I'd like to ask (nicely, of course) that the maintainers of KDE 4.1 in 
experimental apply the patch to fix a versioning issue in the http cache 
cleaner. It affects KDE since at least 4.1.2, and somehow missed out on being 
fixed in 4.1.3. The upstream bug report is here: 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172182

The problem is a version mismatch between the http cache creator and the 
version the cache cleaner expects, resulting in the cache cleaner removing 
*all* files, and thus making all http caching completely worthless (and, I 
suspect, also causing weird browsing hiccups when files sometimes disappear 
(due to cleaning) *while* they are being downloaded).

The fix is simply to bump the version that the cache cleaner expects.

I was patiently waiting for this fix to come through in 4.1.3, but now that 
version is tagged I see it was neglected somehow. So I ask you.

Keep up the good work.

Peace,
Brendon
