15 Oops, it seems that you haven't updated in a while and have just
16 finally ran into the expat update "bug". Once you upgraded to expat
17 2.*, you have to re-compile a lot of stuff to get them working again.

25 And this seems to be the problem you have.

30 The oldest version of kdeaddons in the tree, I see, is 3.5.5
31 So an attempt at merging kdeaddons-3.5.2-r1 will find no ebuild.

38 It is provided by the package expat.

61 No, not really. Not all the packages are needed just to get your sound
62 card back; but all the packages will be needed at some point or
63 another if you want your desktop to be functional. It is probably a
64 good time to 'emerge --update --deep world'.
