That just proves that we should avoid retiring packages, but try to keep
them alive as long as we can, even if it's just rebuilds for new
dependencies.

These are multilib problems. koffice-kivio and kdeedu-math are no longer
multilib. But people should not have those installed as multilib anyway,
since they're leaf packages. This just shows how the "install everything as
multilib" option is harmful and we should finally stop supporting that
nonsense completely (it stopped being the default in F9, thankfully).
On all architectures:

This is because kdelibs-devel only Obsoletes kdelibs-experimental-devel on
F12.

Missing Obsoletes, I guess.
