What are the "similar problems" of "KDE"? Neither the kdelibs 4.x nor
the KF5 stacks support libical3, so everything uses libical2 for now.
The only exception is digikam, for which I just requested a rebuild
(since kcalcore was fixed to properly use libical2, see #883921).

Since I don't see any other message in this bug regarding problems,
nor I see any bug filed in any part of the KDE stack, then I'm lowering
the severity of this bug, so this rushed doko-transition can be finally
unblocked (unblocking the marble+libkipi transition too).
