It may also be from two conflicting packages, so uninstall every arts/artsd package you have installed and try againe. ERROR: KUniqueApplication: DCOP communication error! Both arts and kdemultimedia packages were recompiled from source and the problem persists. Both packages are from the rc3 ftp directory so shouldn't conflict.

this is where I would write an excuse for closing a bug report.
Why this bug be marked as INVALID? This bug happened to me, too. Is that any quick fix for it?
Yes, read the WARNING and do what it says.
