On a side note, this is not the only package that has done this recently, the new courier did this too. That is, on upgrade, some files are mysteriously not extracted, but a forced reinstall fixes it and installs them properly.
This problem is caused by a pacman bug. KDE is one of the program that is affected. Judd (Apeiro) posted a nice explanation in the KDE 3.4 thread.

later and i'm alright again.
Thanks for your help guys.
]]>or you can do
. /etc/profile.d/kde.sh
For me, I have the following in my ~/.xinitrc
exec startkde
And then when I run 'startx' on the command line, it loads up X and then executes startkde for you.
]]>Now i had installed kde before and used it with the nv driver but now i can't use it at all.
I've recently done a
pacman -Syu
which upgraded all the kde packages. Now things like 'startkde' and 'konqueror' aren't available to run as commands
-bash: konqueror: command not found
but they still exist on the system:
locate -u
locate konqueror
/opt/kde/bin/konqueror
...
Any ideas what is going on?
Thanks in advance.
