I'm experienceing the same problem. But kinput2 isn't building because
it can't find libcanna16, see:

Because t does't build, it just installs the docs.

I'm not using KDE on this machine, but I'm using qt2 something for cuyo.
I removed both of those, but it doesn't help. I'm suspecting this issue
isn't related to KDE per say, just one of the dependencies or a USE variable.
Need more investigaion.

I would like to know how you got your kinput2 working :-)
