143You probably do not have to care about that.
144kmicrokdelibs_1.9.2 will come with some
145resource plugins, which needs additional libraries.
146(E.g. libopie1, if you want to use the

148If you do not have this libraries installed,
149you simply cannot use the resource.

151If the libraries are missing, the applications
