Hi, I installed kde-4.2 with USE="kdeprefix" two weeks ago and everything I needed was working all right.
Then I decided to change my USE flags and delete kdeprefix in order to have kde in /usr. After that I: - Did an emerge -uDN world - Deleted my user folders .kde* The result was a kde-4.2 merged back, but with the following applications crashing: - kopete - kmail - kontact - kaddresbook - korganizer With error messages like this: kaddressbook(10155)/kdepimlibs (kabc) KABC::StdAddressBook::self: asynchronous= true kaddressbook(10155)/kresources KRES::Factory::self: kaddressbook(10155)/kdecore (KSycoca) KSycocaPrivate::openDatabase: Trying to open ksycoca from "/var/tmp/kdecache-abecerra/ksycoca4" kaddressbook(10155)/kresources KRES::ManagerImpl::ManagerImpl: kaddressbook(10155)/kresources KRES::ManagerImpl::readConfig: kaddressbook(10155)/kresources KRES::Factory::self: kaddressbook(10155)/kdepimlibs (kabc) KABC::StdAddressBook::StdAddressBook: kaddressbook(10155)/kdepimlibs (kabc) KABC::StdAddressBook::self: calling init after instance creation kaddressbook(10155)/kresources KRES::Factory::Private::resourceInternal: ( "file" , config ) kaddressbook(10155)/kresources KRES::Factory::Private::resourceInternal: no such type "file" KCrash: crashing... crashRecursionCounter = 2 KCrash: Application Name = kaddressbook path = <unknown> pid = 10155 sock_file=/home/abecerra/.kde4/socket-quark/kdeinit4__0 <unknown program name>(10154)/: Communication problem with "kaddressbook" , it probably crashed. Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" " Does anybody has any suggestions to fix these problems?, all this packages used to work when I had kde prefixed!
