Ok, it looks like there is not network connection involved. I guess it can not create a socket. At least nothing shows up in wireshark.
Another note, it works fine if I run knode with root permissions. So this seems to be some kind of permission problem when trying to create a socket.
OK, downgrading all related packages helps: yum downgrade kdepimlibs kde-runtime-libs kde-baseapps-libs kde-runtime kde-baseapps attica kwrite kde-runtime-flags kate-part kdesdk-kompare kdesdk-kompare-libs kdesdk-common kdepimlibs-akonadi kdelibs attica konsole-part kdelibs4 kdelibs-common kdelibs4 kdemultimedia-libs kdemultimedia-common konsolelibakonadi-filestore libakonadi-xml libkdepim-copy libkdepim-runtime-dms-copy libkmindexreader libmaildir kdepim-runtime-libs kdepim-runtime kdepim-runtime kdepim-runtime-libs kdepim kdepim-libs kdepim kdepim-libs Note only downgrading kdepim kdepim-libs kdepim-runtime-libs kdepim-runtime does not work.
kio_nntp is provided by kdepimlibs, so it's likely to be there (or lower) in the stack.
I will test tomorrow. Is this an upstream bug? What would be the best way to track down the problem?
Ok, now I did the upgrade again. After upgrade I got the error, but after a reboot the error was gone. Thus it works now :)
Oh neat, seems we've banished the gremlin, i'll mark this closed (for now). please do followup/reopen if it happens again.
