I just keep getting error messages like this when trying to open KOffice or K3b or some other KDE apps:

kio (KSycoca): Trying to open ksycoca from /var/tmp/kdecache-jlp/ksycoca
kio (KSycoca): WARNING: Found version 75, expecting version 78 or higher.
kio (KSycoca): WARNING: Outdated database found

kio (KSycoca): ERROR: No database available!
koffice (lib kofficecore): ERROR: Couldn't find the native MimeType in kword's desktop file. Check your installation !

If I delete the mentioned file all is OK then untill next logout/login.

What is wrong and how do I fix this? I'm using KDE 3.3.0.

Hm I solved my problem. I had KDE 3.3.0 installed and I also had KDE from Gentoo KDE CVS project installed. I now uninstalled KDE CVS and it is all fine now. I thought that you could have two versions of KDE installed (because they use different slots) and that they don't influence each other. Is this not true then?
