18 Let's see here. Ignore packages with the -meta suffix, first off, since they're just
19 aggregators for other packages. Secondly, since Portage's dependency identification
20 sometimes messes up in --keep-going runs, attempt to individually re-emerge
21 any package that didn't get far enough to produce a log. Start with the kde-base packages:

29 Most of these packages are important to the basic functioning of KDE, and you need
30 to get them merged if you want a functioning desktop. Then look at the extras:
31
32 > * (kde-base/kmail-3.5.10::kde-sunset, ebuild scheduled for merge)
33 > * (kde-base/konqueror-akregator-3.5.10::kde-sunset, ebuild scheduled for merge)

35 > * (kde-base/kontact-specialdates-3.5.10::kde-sunset, ebuild scheduled for merge)
36
37 These packages are less important, and if you can live with the idea of using a
38 different (probably GTK-based) mailer and calendar application, you don't
39 absolutely need them.
40
41 For the remainder:

48 > * (kde-base/korganizer-3.5.10::kde-sunset, ebuild scheduled for merge)
49
50 and for any packages on the other lists that still won't merge, use the
51 equery command to determine what the most recent KDE3 ebuild is:
52
53 # equery meta kcontrol
54 * kde-base/kcontrol [gentoo]
55 Herd: kde (kde@g.o)
56 Maintainer: None specified
57 Upstream: None specified
58 Homepage: http://www.kde.org/
59 Location: /usr/portage/kde-base/kcontrol
60 Keywords: 3.5.10:3.5: alpha amd64 hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 sparc x86
61 Keywords: 3.5.10-r1:3.5: ~alpha ~amd64 ~hppa ~ia64 ~mips ~ppc ~ppc64 ~sparc ~x86 ~x86-fbsd <--this one
62 Keywords: 4.8.5:4: amd64 ppc x86 ~ppc64 ~x86-fbsd
63 Keywords: 4.9.1:4:
64 Keywords: 4.9.2:4: ~amd64 ~amd64-linux ~arm ~x86 ~x86-linux
65
66 and unmask it, then try to merge again. If you don't have the equery command,
67 emerge gentoolkit.
68
69 The packages you absolutely need to get working are the ones I shortlisted as part
70 of kde-base, and kcontrol. Most of the others can be worked around by substituting
71 other applications with the same functionality. Note that kopete has at least one
72 broken plugin (I think it's jabber) that may not compile under any circumstances.
73
74 Oh, and incidentally,
75
76 No.

79 Good luck.
