First problem i can see in there is the failure to update
kdebase-workspace-python-applet. This is because kdebindings last i
checked wasn't building for F11 which means it can't be updated. I
found removing kdebase-workspace-python-applet before updating allowed
the update although obviously python based plasma applets will stop
working... My guess without looking too closely is that since that
package can't be updated other packages that depend on it and it
depends on can't be updated either causing a huge list of errors.
