k3b: Could not start process Unable to create io-slave:

[Johann Spies <jspies@sun.ac.za>]

On sid, I can not run kde programs like k3b or quanta.  Apart from the
error message in the subject line, I also get:

klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'file' 

And:

"Could not find mime type application/octet-stream" 

And:

No mime types installed.


The following also appears:

kio (KSycoca): WARNING: Found version 72, expecting version 75 or
higher.

What is the remedy to this?

     "Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a 
      trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the 
      synagogues and in the streets, that they may have 
      glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their 
      reward. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left 
      hand know what thy right hand doeth; That thine alms 
      may be in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret
      himself shall reward thee openly."       Matthew 6:2-4
