System is rendered useless after Plasma 5.4.3 update KDEInit couldn't launch

[Tom Back]

I have the same problem, though on F22.

1.  Killing "plasmashell --shut-up" and restarting the process sometimes
brings the desktop back, but no KDE software will run.

2.  kf5-kded and kmix each consume 100% cpu, and killing these allows me
to launch konsole and other programs.

3.  DNF has a rollback function, but the needed packages are no longer
present in the repos, so it's of little help.

Having just moved to Fedora from OpenSUSE three weeks ago, I would be
curious to know what normally happens in scenarios like these?  Is this
likely to be fixed in an imminent update or are we isolated cases and on
our own?
