Note: In the duplicates, the missing package is actually kde-wallpapers instead. But otherwise the issue is the same.
I can't find any "Ethais" kdm theme? anyway, let me echo what I said elsewhere, Yeah, double checked and affected kdm themes include: horos (requires Horos wallpaper) oxygen-air (requires Air wallpaper) so, we have a couple of choices. 1. do nothing, consider this NOTABUG (and advise folks to simply install kdebase-workspace-wallpapers) 2. split out these non-default kdm themes, into something like kdm-themes, and to that new pkg add a kdebase-workspace-wallpapers dependency. I'll work on 2, will save us a few mb's on our live image, if nothing else (since kdm-themes won't be installed by default.

Option 2 sounds ideal from my point of view. Cheers phantomjinx
> I can't find any "Ethais" kdm theme? Looks like upstream dropped (or renamed) it. So only kde(base-workspace)-wallpapers is still needed. So let's track it in the bug report which is actually about the themes we still ship, to reduce confusion.
Closing this one because the Ethais theme is gone (repoquery -f /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes/ethais turns up empty). Please see bug #753409 for the issue with the Oxygen and Air themes (which need kde-wallpapers, not kdeartwork-wallpapers).
