I hardly use it, just need 1 installation for software testing.
Anyway, I figured out remove poppler, so update can proceed. Then to get 
Plasma back, install xorg-x11-apps then plasma-desktop. Cannot do the 
group install KDE Plasma Workspaces, because it wants insight-client.
And that is part of Ass Hat Enterprise Linux. Eh?
I installed XFCE as well, as Gnome shits me.
