I was trying to investigate the kded4 high CPU load, and I started to 
investigate some upstream reports, even if not necessarily reported for 4.6.90.

Some such reports were related to ntrack, e.g. http://bugs.kde.org/268038

What the heck is ntrack and why do we need it? (The official description tells 
me exactly nothing).

There is *no* ntrack in either of Mandriva or Fedora -- it's actually likely 
to be an Ubuntu project; either way, it's definitely *not* part of the KDE4 
project, as it's hosted on https://launchpad.net/ntrack

Then why the heck removing libntrack0 wants to remove *all* the KDE???

Is Mageia becoming Kubuntu?

All these excessive dependencies are making me sick. Everything depends on 
everything. Is dynamic loading of libraries, with dynamically getting pointers
to functions and using them or not, depending on availability, a mechanism 
that only works in Windows?

Then, you'll excuse me, for the fist time in 9 days, I'll reboot into XP SP3.

And I'm doing that because, after having rebooted in F15, their plasma (4.6.3)
crashed on me for 3 times in 5 minutes. This is unbearable.

Pissed off,
R-C aka beranger
