25 Sorry to reply to my own post but it seems that my world file had all of the kde
26 programs listed with ":4.5"
27 I don't know how this has happened but I removed the :4.5 from the lines and
28 now if I run an emerge I get the following:-
29
30 Total: 268 packages (24 upgrades, 12 new, 228 in new slots, 4 reinstalls, 230
31 uninstalls), Size of downloads: 424,321 kB
32 Conflict: 459 blocks
33
34 Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]
35
36 Why would 228 packages be installed in new slots?
