Beware of KDE 4.6.4

Some tarballs appear to be broken.

Uh oh. I just upgraded to 4.6.4 myself. Haven't noticed any unusual behavior, but then again I've only been using it for 5-6 hours now.

I haven't had any problems with 4.6.4 either. TM

@JM and Anon: Sure, it's not going to eat your children, the problem is the tarballs do not contain what 4.6.4 should be, e.g. for Okular they contain 4.6.1 or something like that.

Hm - nepomukstrigiservice crashes a lot since the update - seems to happen everytime I download a larger file (the indexer seems to continue indexing the file again and again until it is fully downloaded) - could that also be related to the broken packages?

@Claudio: Do not really know, so please report it, but do mention that you are running 4.6.4 and that some packages are known to contain old versions.
