Carlos, Ouch! But, thanks for the starter ...
Checked the 'rpm database' using 'rpm -V -a' and got 14,409 potentially compromised packages!
Ah, no! It is not that. The option -V verifies the list of installed files from rpms ... ...
Just one idea... Did you "upgrade" kde? That could be it...
... Carlos, Thanks for the heads-up concerning kde. Tut! I'm guilty of not picking that up from the other thread ... So, just done the updates.

Much appreciate your help, cheers Brian
