  Just revert kdelibs to 3.3.2-6.1. I'm terribly sorry for having
  3.3.2-7 give so much trouble, but it's probably not worth
  investigating since we'll begin with the c++ abi transition soon.

  Please spread the word: don't install kdelibs 3.3.2-7, stay at
  3.3.2-6.1, and don't dist-upgrade KDE until next notice (since we'll
  be doing the C++ ABI transition with the KDE 3.4 one and things _will_
  break).

  Thanks & apologies,

The first step on the road to wisdom is the admission of ignorance. The
second step is realizing that you don't have to blab it to the world.
