I read the compiler output but I doubt I can reproduce this and gave a 
suggestion to get around it since this does not appear to effect 
everyone.

I can set up a VM box with the older kde on it and try to run through 
the update process to see if I can reproduce it.  That is why I asked 
questions about hardware (AIT card I don't have) as well as non-default 
port configs.

The feedback I get through is saying that this is all completely broken 
and trying to troubleshoot in this fashion is not getting it.  I believe 
it is always a good idea in cases like this to have specific, 
actionable, and repeatable issues, documented by several people and we 
don't have that.
