Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kde4libs

Currently, KDE4 applications cannot load their plugins so their
functionality is limited. Example testcase:

Open Dolphin

Right click inside the fie file manager and select "New"

Expected result:
User will be shown different options, including creating new folders, etc.

Actual result:
Only "link to device" is shown, which points to nothing.

A consequence is that links (.desktop files, not symbolic links) to URLs
(even local URLs like a folder) do not work.

A closer examination shows that there isn't a global syscoca database
(but perhaps that was intentional?) and that it is impossible to create
one (KDE4 programs deadlock as root), but it may be a separate issue.

As the described behavior does not occur on KDE 4.0.0 compiled from
sources, it is probably a packaging bug.
