ok, so i installed 0.6 arch and installed kde. when i tried to run it i got a kdeinit error. so i went in search of what to do to fix it and found a post to edit /etc/profile...well i did that and it didn't work, so i put it back and now not only does it not work, but when i log in i get a list of things declared. what is the deal?

Was your init error called kcminit? If so, see my post "pkg not in sync DB" for help in eliminating the latest kde upgrades which are buggy.

so i should rollback kdelibs?
I used the command....pacman -RD kdelibs... to remove the offending pkg the -3 version
I then used command ....pacman -Af kdelibs-3.2.2-2.pkg.tar.gz to install that version.

Sounds like you are on the right track.. Pacman -Rd kdelibs uses lower case d
Then run ...pacman -Rd kdemultimedia to remove that pkg
Then cd to /var/cache/pacman/pkg directory and if the packages are there:
perform pacman -Af kdelibs-3.2.2-2.pkg.tar.gz
Then.... pacman -Af kdemultimedia-2.2.2-1.pkg.tar.gz
I found it necessary to use two spaces between -Af and the package ID.
Good luck!!!!

I think that these packs that need rollbacks on behalf of the users should be replaced *by the admins* with their older version. I don't understand why everybody has to do this by hand. Isn't it easier to change the packs on the server?!? The current/extra must have the latest *working* packs.
P.S.1 current/extra is NOT testing
P.S.2 that's why I wait for at least a week before upgrading an important package, even if it's in current/extra - why? because I want to get final user input // this saves me from the trouble of downgrading etc.
(this post can easily be applied to the daemons package, which also caused some trouble - fortunately, that one was fixed faster... I think)

i couldn't agree with u more. it should be the admins giving a temp fix for the prob. if nothing else remove kde from the server completely until it is fixed, or whatever else may have a bug.
