30 :) That fix works except that i had to change all the relevent kde-base lines
31 in my /etc/portage/packages.unmask from the form:
32
33 >=kde-base/<whatever>-3.5_rc1
34
35 to:
36
37 =kde-base/<whatever>-3.5_rc1
38
39 Then I realised that i could do without the /etc/portage/package.mask that you
40 suggested anyway.

42 Thank you for pointing the way.

44 BTW, I am a gentoo (amd64) newbie for about 6 weeks and IMHO gentoo is the
45 best desktop distro I have ever played with... except for the usual gripes
46 many ppl have about various minor 32bit compatability issues.
