I was wanting to have the google search box in konqueror as I use konqueror as my web browser. and the kdemultimedia-extras package it pulled it is 3.5.6-7. These came straight out of yum as i did a yum install kdeaddons.
Ah, I see. Sub-package-bloat-confusion. kdeaddons.spec BuildRequires kdemultimedia-devel, which due to the sub-package split leads to "noatun" related files in kdeaddons depending on noatun libraries in kdemultimedia-extras.
