Re: [SOLVED] latest update breaks kde

This is almost certainly a partial update issue. Make sure your system is FULLY up to date. If you still have a problem, check startplasma-x11 with lddtree (from the pax-utils package), see what's still linked to the old library.

Re: [SOLVED] latest update breaks kde

The problem seems to be the opposite of that, you have something looking for an older version of libplist. That's not a libplist problem.
