Definitively, there is a conflict here :
kde4-baseapps @4.7.1 kde/kde4-baseapps
kde4-runtime @4.7.1 kde/kde4-runtime
kdebase4 @4.6.5 kde/kdebase4
kdebase4-runtime @4.6.5 kde/kdebase4-runtime
you must have 4.7.1 everywhere... This will trouble kioslave, i'm sure...
kipi-plugins @1.8.0 kde/kipi-plugins
==> kipi-plugins have been updated too. Why to still at 1.8.0, not 2.0.0 ?
