Hi,
Short version: KDE4 is dead and will be removed shortly from openSUSE Factory. Qt4 is dead and shall be removed as soon as possible from openSUSE Factory.
Long version: The last kdelibs version was released in 2017 and is no longer maintained, Qt4 is also no longer maintained upstream.
To avoid keeping zombies with security issues, it's time to kill the kdelibs4 based packages but also the Qt4 based ones.
A couple delete requests for KDE4 packages are currently being processes and more will follow. kdelibs4 will be the last one to go and after that, we'll remove packages not present in Leap from the KDE: tree.
Qt4's fate shall be the same. If you maintain packages still using Qt4, please check if Qt5-based versions exist, if the Qt dependency is mandatory and/or if these packages are still useful.
Hrmpf, removing KDE4/Qt4 will remove a lot of packages: breeze4-style 5.15.3-1.1 jovie 17.08.3-1.5 kdebase4-runtime 17.08.3-6.5 kdebase4-workspace-libs 4.11.22-16.3 kdelibs4 4.14.38-7.1 kdelibs4-core 4.14.38-7.1 kding 0.6-1 kscd 17.08.3-1.3 libattica0_4 0.4.2-5.11 libbreezecommon4-5 5.15.3-1.1 libdbusmenu-qt2 0.9.2+14.04.20131209-3.13 libkactivities6 4.13.3-6.13 libkde4 4.14.38-7.1 libkdecore4 4.14.38-7.1 libksuseinstall1 4.14.38-7.1 libphonon4 4.10.2-1.1 libpolkit-qt-1-1 0.112.0-1.9 libqt4 4.8.7-16.1 libqt4-qt3support 4.8.7-16.1 libqt4-sql 4.8.7-16.1 libqt4-sql-sqlite 4.8.7-16.1 libqt4-x11 4.8.7-16.1 phonon-backend-gstreamer 4.9.0-1.10 scribus 1.4.7-3.3 sni-qt 0.2.6-5.4 unetbootin 0.0.657-1.3 On another system: amarok 2.9.0-2.5 amarok-lang 2.9.0-2.5 breeze4-style 5.14.5-1.3 jovie 17.08.3-1.5 kde4-kgreeter-plugins 4.11.22-16.3 kdebase4-runtime 17.08.3-6.4 kdebase4-workspace-libs 4.11.22-16.3 kdelibs4 4.14.38-6.3 kdelibs4-core 4.14.38-6.3 kdepimlibs4 4.14.10-7.3 kdm 4.11.22-16.3 kdm-theme-lisa 1.2-2.2 keurocalc 1.2.3-1.6 keurocalc-lang 1.2.3-1.6 kio_audiocd4 16.08.3-1.7 kio_mtp 0.75-6.10 kscd 17.08.3-1.3 libQtWebKit-devel 4.8.7+2.3.4-2.157 libQtWebKit4 4.8.7+2.3.4-2.157 libakonadi4 4.14.10-7.3 libakonadiprotocolinternals1 1.13.0-11.7 libattica0_4 0.4.2-5.11 libbreezecommon4-5 5.14.5-1.3 libdbusmenu-qt2 0.9.2+14.04.20131209-3.13 libjoschy0 0.8.1-4.5 libkactivities6 4.13.3-6.13 libkcddb4 16.08.3-1.7 libkcompactdisc4 16.08.3-1.8 libkde4 4.14.38-6.3 libkdecore4 4.14.38-6.3 libkdegames6 14.12.3-1.13 libkdepimlibs4 4.14.10-7.3 libkscreen 1.0.5-2.13 libkscreen1 1.0.5-2.13 libksuseinstall1 4.14.38-6.3 liblastfm1 1.0.9-1.7 libmygpo-qt1 1.1.0-1.3 libphonon4 4.10.2-1.1 libpolkit-qt-1-1 0.112.0-1.9 libprison0 1.1.1-4.15 libqca2 2.1.3-3.4 libqimageblitz4 0.0.6+svn1515099-1.4 libqjson0 0.8.1-9.12 libqscintilla2_qt4-13 2.10.8-2.4 libqt4 4.8.7-15.2 libqt4-devel 4.8.7-15.2 libqt4-linguist 4.8.7-15.2 libqt4-qt3support 4.8.7-15.2 libqt4-sql 4.8.7-15.2 libqt4-sql-sqlite 4.8.7-15.2 libqt4-x11 4.8.7-15.2 oxygen-transparent 0.1+20141112-6.8 oxygen-transparent-liboxygenstyle 0.1+20141112-6.8 phonon-backend-gstreamer 4.9.0-1.10 phonon-devel 4.10.2-1.1 plasma-theme-helium 4.1.0-2.2 python3-qscintilla-qt4 2.10.8-2.5 python3-qt4 4.12.3-1.4 qt4-qtscript 0.2.0-13.3 recorditnow 0.8.1-4.5 recorditnow-backend-ffmpeg 0.8.1-4.5 recorditnow-backend-mplayer 0.8.1-4.5 scribus 1.4.7-3.2 sni-qt 0.2.6-5.4 tipp10 2.1.0-0 <irony> Sure, you might get a more secure system, simply because loosing a lot of users... Less installed systems, less security issues with it. I'm not sure, if this is your intention. </irony> Is there any tool, that attempts an automatic transformation of Qt4/KDE4 based applications to Qt5/Plasma5, which requires manual work for the real issues only? Missing amarok, scribus, and kding hurts the most. Not being able to play an Audio CD will be a shame as well.
