Upgrade to kdegraphics-3.5.9-2.fc8 Breaks Things

[Richard Heck]

In particular, neither kdvi nor kpdf will work now. The former gives me
"No viewing component found", and the latter gives me "Unable to find
kpdf part".

Installing AdobeReader has been known to break kdegraphics in the past,
you didn't happen to have installed it too recently? :)

Not sure when that was installed. A while ago, but I haven't used this
machine for a while, and I did the upgrade since then. Should I try
uninstalling AdobeReader?

And moreover, kghostview is crashing on startup; and kview reports:
kview: error while loading shared libraries: libkdeinit_kview.so: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
It seems that /usr/lib64/libkdeinit_kview.so no longer exists---though
locate reports it as being there, since it was before:
[***@bootp-27 arche]$ ls `locate libkdeinit_kview`
ls: cannot access /usr/lib64/libkdeinit_kview.so: No such file or directory
/usr/lib64/libkdeinit_kview.la /usr/lib/libkdeinit_kview.la

rpm -V kdegraphics kdegraphics-libs

sounds like something got borked.

I seem to have this now in /usr/lib/ rather than in /usr/lib64/. ??

You're multilib, it's ok to have both
kdegraphics-libs.i386
and
kdegraphics-libs.x86_64

though you probably don't really need/want kdegraphics-libs.i386

The .so files seem to be in kdegraphics, whereas the .la files are in
kdegraphics-libs. I had both the .la files, but only the i386 .so file.

Here's the problem:
[***@bootp-27 log]# grep kde messages
...
Jun 17 12:24:01 bootp-27 yum: Installed: kdegraphics - 7:3.5.9-2.fc8.i386
...
I ended up with the wrong one of those, for some reason. Uninstalling
and then installing the x86_64 manually fixed the problem. I take it I
do NOT want both versions of kdegraphics, right?

Any idea why that might have happened? This was a normal "yum update". A
yum issue?

WTF is kdegraphics.i386 doing in x86_64 updates?

Hint: it shouldn't be there.
