In case other packagers find the pitfall fedora did...
Folks are probably aware that both kde-applications (in kde-runtime) and
plasma-5.x include versions of khelpcenter. We, like some other
distros, created a separate khelpcenter (sub)package from kde-runtime.
The pitfall we hit was that kde-applications version (15.04.0) was
higher than plasma (5.3.x).
And, unfortunately, kde4 khelpcenter doesn't work with kf5 applications.
For example, see:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349570
Fedora recently fixed that (by introducing an epoch to khelpcenter-5.x
packaging), so the plasma5 version has precedence.
