It's not a bug.  This is not for OS2008.XX.  These are System V packages,
and the dependencies are for Solaris 10/x64.  There are several packages
which will likely hurt an OS2008.xx system.

I guess the repeated "This is only for Solaris 10/x64" is just not loud
enough.

Someone else on the team is working on a true KDE4 on OS2008.xx
with IPS packages.  Monitor kde-discuss at opensolaris.org or
http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_Solaris.

An announcement for 32-bit x86 packages (P3/VIA C3/Athlon)
will be done shortly.
