kile crashes when compiling file containing \bibliography{...}

Hey,

kile (v 2.1.3) with kde5 crashes if I compile my project with pdflatex as long it is  containing   the line

\bibliography{...}

I'm actually not using bibtex, I'm using biblatex.
That's why I enclosed this line into an
iffalse declaration.

\iffalse
    \bibliography{../bib/master.bib}
\fi

This is not a bug of pdflatex since pdflatex runs through without any errors.

However, on another system running opensuse 13.1 and kde4 the same version of kile is not crashing.

This problem is somehow related to either arch or kde5.

Any tips on how to further investigate this problem? The backtrace provide by KCrash is not really useful.

Well, the way to investigate a crash is with the backtrace. If you say it's not useful, then you'll have to install the required debug symbols to make it useful

Well, as far as I understand I have to compile all the kde packages again with build type Debug.
I'm not really sure which packages I have to pick.

I already installed kile with Debug informations but still KCrash asks me to provide some binary with debug information. Also I should install debug informations for libkdeui and libQtCore and libQtGui .

Which packages will I have to rebuild? qt5? plasma-* ?
