Hi

The KDE Aplications contain a tarball of kde-workspace. The kde-workspace libraries are required to complie some of the other KDE 4 based applications. However, kde-workspace conflicts with plasma-workspace, they have a lot of critical files in common, the last package that gets installed, wins.

When trying to provide a featurefull Plasma 5 desktop, I need plasma-workspace and I do not want kde-workspace. Yet I need kde-workspace for some apps. How do other distro packagers deal with this?

When releasing packages for Applications 14.12.1 I decided to just not ship kde-workspace at all (even though I built it) but that breaks at least kget. If I don't build it at all, I can not compile kdeartwork. So that's not helpful either.

I am trying to find cmake variables that skip compilation of the conflicting binaries, and that sort of works, but still I have overlap in /usr/include and /usr/lib.

Cheers, Eric
