I have just updated the system now on kde4.8 but all i get is kmix and a white screen noting else works at all even that took 12 mins to come up (ps the update was a normal pacman -Suy )
Pete (sent from webamil on the lappy cus main machine is futzed ) can you drop to a shell? if so, get some internet connection and retrieve the old packages from http://arm.konnichi.com/2012/01/26/ you'll find the kde packages in extra. you can just install them with a bit bash-hacking (awk, sed, wget, etc). if you want hints, just ask.
erm, small advice: there is strong bottom post policy on this list. dont make a discussion of ist, happend often enough… just wanted to have said. your prob: how about just removing kde, so you get space for repairing it? maybe a # pacman -Scc gets you some more free space (emptiing the packege cache
