Recent update causes KDE to fail to start

[Michael Marley]

After a recent update to the kdelibs5 package on Kubuntu Jaunty x64, KDE 4.2 fails to start properly. When logging on, it spends more time than normal on the logon screen, and then it simply displays a screen with only the desktop wallpaper on it. Various notification messages appear, but Plasma does not start and the desktop does not appear. I tried starting a Failsafe xterm session, and when I run "startkde" from that, it complains many times about DBUS errors.

Yes, the other components are still building, and there was a small binary-incompatible change to libplasma in 4.2 RC1 so Plasma from 4.1.85 won't work with 4.1.96. This will auto-resolve itself once everything else is built/pushed to the mirrors by the build computers.

All of the packages seem to have updated to the latest version now, but KDE still will not start.
