Gene,

  Okular was the KDE4 replacement to kpdf that had a number of bugs. It is the
pdf viewer in KDE5 (Plasma) -- it has gotten better there, but....

none of that explains how its failure is related to TDE? I suspect you have
installed okular and it has pulled in its KDE4/Plasma dependencies and -- how
now fallen flat on it face (a routine problem with KDE4/Plasma).

  Additionally, it is based on Qt4/Frameworks in the various versions, so
there shouldn't be a Qt conflict.

  Changes in TDE should not affect okular and vice-versa (it would be very
strange if there was still a common library name being used between the two --
and then your package manager should have flagged it).

Also note:

kbuildsycoca4 running...
kbuildsycoca4(3570) KBuildSycoca::checkTimestamps: checking file
timestamps
kbuildsycoca4(3570) KBuildSycoca::checkTimestamps: timestamps check ok
kbuildsycoca4(3570) kdemain: Emitting notifyDatabaseChanged ()


kbuildsycoca4 is the KDE4 (KDE Build System Config Cache)

I think you have a KDE4/Qt4 problem -- who would have thought... Nuke it!
