Indeed.
My efforts to remove Qt4/KDE4 dependecy has broken a lot.
Even stuff that i though was pure KDF5 like kwrite:

================
anton@main:~> kwrite
kwrite: /usr/lib64/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5.6.2_PRIVATE_API' not found
(required by /usr/lib64/libQt5Script.so.5)

anton@main:~> rpm -qf  /usr/lib64/libQt5Script.so.5
libQt5Script5-5.6.2-1.18.x86_64
anton@main:~> rpm -qf  /usr/lib64/libQt5Core.so.5
libQt5Core5-5.12.2-1.1.x86_64

Mmm.  Not all from same repository.
OK fix that.
When I can run 'yast2 sw-single' without it crashing.
oh, dear, problems are cascading.



I've tried drilling down on that and some googling but I'm "WTF?"

KDM, as Feix says, is very flexible, but as far as I can tell there is a broken
KDF start-up or a wrong start-up since non of the options to get into KDE in any
of the forms it can select work.

===================
anton@main:~> rpm -qf /usr/bin/kwrite
kwrite-17.04.2-1.6.x86_64

====================================

Googling, I see that people try playing with LD_LIBRARY_PATH
I've never had to do that with any of the KDE suite before.  Why now?
Its not as if I'm running a couple of different versions in parallel, at least
not 'by intent'.  Yes, there's non KDF5 stuff still abound, like KDM that needs
the KDE4 libraries, but I don't think that's the issue here.
