[jaunty] Plasma can't start, Desktop isn't shown

[FriedChicken]

Binary package hint: kdebase-plasma

After logging in plasma can't start and therefore no deskop or something else is shown (only black screen). Alt+F2 works and trying to start plasma manually shows this:

$ plasma

Could you paste the output of 'apt-cache policy libplasma3' and 'apt-cache policy kdebase-workspace"? Could you also make sure everything is up to date? Thanks.

Plasma (part of kdebase-workspace) needs a libplasma of the same version to work, so it is expected that it is broken right now.
kdebase 4.1.80 should be built for most archs: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-workspace/4:4.1.80-0ubuntu1 so it's probably just a matter of your repository's mirror picking up the updated packages.
