Yeah, the most common thing I do when troubleshooting or rebuilding a new package set is to delete the profile cache files:

rm -f .trinity/cache-$HOSTNAME/ksycoca*

Recently we changed the names of the temp directory locations to avoid conflicts with KDE4. Although the directory names used within the profile are sand boxed and safe, the names of the external linked locations was the same for TDE, KDE3, KDE4. Not good.

So yes, the names changed.

I never experienced any problem after the change. Possibly because I routinely rm -f the cache files in my testing. Still, I wonder whether the name changes will cause problems for people who don't do that. I wonder whether we should add a snippet in startde to look for the old names and rm -fr if they exist in order to force creation to the new linked names.
