Hi

The KDE Aplications contain a tarball of kde-workspace. The 
kde-workspace libraries are required to complie some of the other KDE 
4 based applications.  However, kde-workspace conflicts with 
plasma-workspace, they have a lot of critical files in common, the 
last package that gets installed, wins.

When trying to provide a featurefull Plasma 5 desktop, I need 
plasma-workspace and I do not want kde-workspace. Yet I need 
kde-workspace for some apps.  How do other distro packagers deal with 
this?

When releasing packages for Applications 14.12.1 I decided to just not 
ship kde-workspace at all (even though I built it) but that breaks at 
least kget. If I don't build it at all, I can not compile kdeartwork. 
So that's not helpful either.

I am trying to find cmake variables that skip compilation of the 
conflicting binaries, and that sort of works, but still I have overlap 
in /usr/include and /usr/lib.

Cheers, Eric
