First, yesterday I posted a message entitled "More nepomuk/kmail problems and 
workarounds" - did you read that?  I'm happy to report, though, that the non-
starting of kontact was cleared yesterday after an update, although it's not 
obvious which updated package cleared the blockage.

The page that has all the issues I've seen so far, and the workarounds (not 
sure whether I added yesterday's yet)  would be
