Comment(by illogic-al@…):

 kdepimlibs which is a required part of kde depends on boost therefore i
 didn't add it to the kdesdk dependency list.
 And I think the correct solution in this case is to use the version which
 works, i.e. downgrade to 1.36.0. Does any software _need_ 1.37.0? It was
 just updated because it was newer, not a very good reason.
 I think if people are installing kdesdk it's because they want the apps in
 there, and if we start silently killing apps then who's to say when it
 will be fixed properly.

 The workaround works, a real fix is in the next update coming (4.2.0) and
 I don't think crippling the package for the sake of cleanly compiling is
 the right thing to do.

 It's actually a simple matter of turning off umbrello in cmake by adding
 -DBUILD_umbrello=OFF so no patching necessary :-)
 KDE is quite modular so if a particular app is failing it can probably be
 easily disabled in cmake.
