Frick,

	Still 20440 lines of conflict:

[10:34 nirvana:/srv/www/download/Archlinux/bugs] # wc -l kde4-conflicts-
complete.txt 
20440 kde4-conflicts-complete.txt                                                    

	The complete list is here (139k):

http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/bugs/kde4-conflicts-
complete.txt.bz2

	What now?? (the -f option is looking mighty good about now since most of the 
conflicts are man pages and icons.....)

P.S. - Does anybody know how to paste text into kde4 kmail without it 
prompting for "Add as text" "Add as attachment"? That is annoying as hell when 
you are trying to do a simple middle-mouse paste...
