Or a conflict between the kde-redhat packages and the official FC6 updates. In
either case, this should be reported to Rex Dieter.

Those who don't have it enabled aren't those who IMHO "deserve" breakage. Those
who do have updates-testing enabled and don't report the breakage are the ones
I'm complaining about, they really shouldn't complain about the breakage not
getting fixed. The same goes for kde-redhat testing and unstable. Now if the
broken packages have actually been in kde-redhat stable for that long (I don't
know when 3.5.7 for FC6 went "stable" at kde-redhat), the situation is
different.

But unfortunately the breakage you reported can't be fixed without entirely
replacing a package (syncekonnector by libopensync-plugin-synce), which hasn't
happened yet. See the long discussion over bug #244917 for the hairy details:
