Generally, they need to be upgraded together because if they're all
operating in one process, you can have program code from OpenEXR 2 and
OpenEXR 3 colliding in the Blender process and causing things to go
haywire.

That's what I was afraid of. I'm doing my best to make sure I notice dependency chains like this but it's completely manual and could be error prone. There seem to be a lot of kde 4 related dependencies, some of them seem to build with OpenEXR 3.x but I think I'll keep the whole stack at 2.x just to be safe.

Thanks,
Richard
