[packman] [PM] kid3 3.0.1-3.5 (openSUSE Factory/i586)

[Jörg Lorenzen]

Hi Urs,

I've moved translations, plugins and DBus-interface into package 
libkde3_<so-version>
and submitted the changes from branch to main package in Multimedia.
After rebuild the changes should be active in published binaries (needs 
some time).

Regards,
Jörg
