16 This is a warning message from Gentoo KDE devs . kdeprefix is a gentoo thingie
17 and it not supported by official KDE upstream. Thus I might not work that well.
18 It is only advised to use it if you want to have kde:4.2 and :live together.
19 I would recommend to disable it globally and run emerge -uDN world
