Sorry for that, this was a conflict of the KDE 4.2 testing update with
another testing update (the rsibreak one). We didn't catch it because the
offending rsibreak was _only_ in updates-testing, not in updates nor
Rawhide. F9 updates, F10 updates and Rawhide were all still on the KDE 3
version (and thus didn't have a dependency on Plasma). The KDE 4 version
didn't make it into Rawhide because it didn't build against 4.2 and Rawhide
was already using 4.2 prereleases at that time, which also means this
dependency wasn't caught by the Rawhide reports. Nor was it caught by the
kde-redhat testers, as they didn't use updates-testing and/or didn't use
rsibreak.

I rebuilt rsibreak against KDE 4.2 (snatching a patch from Kubuntu to get it
to build) on Friday (as soon as I was made aware of the problem, thanks to
Michael Schwendt) in Rawhide and F9/F10 candidate updates and immediately
submitted new updates to updates-testing, where they just got pushed to. So
this should be fixed now (as soon as the mirrors sync the new testing
updates).

Sorry for the inconvenience.
