I'll pass explaining, i build mandrake kde rpms.
So what happens when i try to install the package that haves the apidocs files 
(libkdepim2-common-devel), appears this error:

error: unpacking of archive failed on 
file /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/kdepim-apidocs/common: cpio: rename failed - Is a 
directory

Before i updated branch_3.4 in wich the kde version passed to 3.4.2, so when 
still using kdepim-3.4.1 this problem didnt exist, only passed existing after 
this last branch update.

The problem in kdepim-3.4.2 is that creates a folder and a symlink with the 
same name, it doesnt delet the folder before creating the symlink, so for 
what i could undertand from kdenetwork that also haves an apidocs dir, this 
problem doesnt exist.

I speaked with Aseigo and canllaith and they told me that i could manually 
delect the file /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/kdepim-apidocs/common to then be 
possible the creation of the symlink with the same name, but they understand 
that with rpms this isnt possible, even with force this kind of problem 
doesnt have solution, really needs a fix in the source.

Then canllaith told me that i needed to send an email to the kdepim mailing 
list, but i told her that i already had sent to kde-devel mailing list, she 
read it and said it was fine.

So now im surprised with this kind of answer i get saying that there isnt any 
problem in kdepim (this in branch_3.4 of course).

Now i cant build the rest of kde, because other modules like kdesdk depend of 
kdepim module, i could so far only build kdelibs and kdebase.

I hope now this kdepim problem can be fixed ASAP.
