This is not in any way about blame.  It is a request for HELP with user 
questions which I can not answer.

It is also about the fact what we need to do something so that people with 
RedHat quit trying to install Fedora RPMs (which KDE is making available on 
their FTP servers).  It is about determining why this doesn't work.

The developers are the people that need to address these issues since 
Fedora will not stop shipping a screwed GLibc and RedHat will not offer 
binary packages for KDE for RedHat 8 & 9.

I have asked one user to file a Fedora bug report.  I hope that he does it, 
but I doubt that this will fix the problem.

However, I will take your posting and others to indicate that the 
developers do not care about user's problems and refuse to help the unpaid 
support staff with user problems.  Both very sad situations. :-(
