I'll have to see which I had manually downloaded that worked -- I've since
removed the packages that I thought were causing the problem and it worked
but caused a separate issue (I'll describe below). i also read through the
build script and it doesn't seem to do anything odd with the download so
its just a matter of comparing downloads i guess.

The strange thing was that I hadn't touched eclipse. It was installed from
the sbo script at least a few weeks before and the only things I touched
were packages (and deps) for midori -- i don't think i had any of the
gtkwebkit stuff installed before so adding this package might have
triggered it to try to use a different browser plugin.

I often run it this way but I figured it'd also be useful to help run the
sbo script to have more eyes on those build scripts and the packages they
create.

so today i realized that something i removed broke my kde!!! i think
gstreamer1 or the way i installed it. the missing library was found in both
gstreamer and gstreamer1 packages. i'll have to see how sbopkg installed it
(alongside or replacement). i think this was the issue that was ultimately
causing the eclipse problem. i'll spend a few hours tomorrow and see if i
can recreate the problem to pinpoint the cause and at least report it in
case other run into this as well. i simply reinstalled original gstreamer
and kde ran fine again.

thanks,

miguel
