Mm, that doesn't look very healthy :)

If you can reproduce it, 'rpm -Uvvh --fsmdebug' on kde-runtime-libs package might shed a bit more light on what's going on.

After trying all sorts of things, looks like this box simply had hopeless filesystem corruption, possibly due to my messing with trying to get hibernate working here.

Anyway, ended up with an unbootable system ultimately and re-installed.  so, I've no inclination or evidence that this was rpm's fault at all.
