According to the Slackware Package Browser shared objects named libkdeinit4_ksmserver.so are shipped in both Slackware64-14.1 and Slackware64-current.
I just hope that you are not upgrading from Slackware64-14.1 (64-bit) to Slackware-current (32-bit) as that can't work... To be sure check what mirror you have uncommented in /etc/slackpkg/mirrors if that's how you did the upgrade.
when it asked about .new conf file
I answered to an option that i now don't remember, but
when I searched .new file with find command it shows only
passwd.new group.new shadow.new
and some files in /usr/share directory
so looks like no conf change for kde or x
now I'm using xfce because couldn't run kde.
insterestingly I found out I can't lauch firefox either.
it says XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib64/firefox-39.0/libxul.so:
/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6:version 'GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by /usr/lib64/firefox-39.0/libxulso)
couln't load XPCOM
i check libstdc++ is there and libxul is there. what is this GLIBCXX_3.4.20 that I'm missing? What package has it?
on the ksmserver error message that when I tried to lauch kde, it also says that I'm missing this GLIBCXX_3.4.20
more investigation, I found out I'm missing glibc. In the log/removed_pkg it says glibc-2.17 is upgraded but in log/pkgs it is missing.
I installed alien's multilib
and blacklisted in slackpkg/blacklist as
[0-9]+_SBo
[0-9]+alien
[0-9]+compat32
is this something to do with missing glibc?
problem solved. it turns out I had to upgrde pkg from alien's current directoy
