20 It's fixable:
21
22 cd /var/db/pkg/
23 cp -r kde-apps/* kde-base/

25 The last set of profile changes performed a slot-move on a bunch of KDE
26 packages in a way that was inappropriate for KDE3. This copies the files
27 involved back to their old locations, making Portage acknowledge the packages
28 under their old names again. Check kde-base afterwards for unmoored
29 symlinks and delete any you find.
