[gentoo-dev] KDE-CVS Update Failing

[apologies in advance if this is overkill, but I CC'd this to the dev list 
as well in case the solution is beyond the scope of gentoo-user]

I've been happily using KDE-CVS for over two months now (kudos to the KDE 
dev team, and thanks to Dan for supplying timely ebuilds for this). No 
problems whatsoever. About three weeks ago I did an "emerge -up kde" and 
the list displayed two packages: kdeedu-5 and kde-5. I tried to emerge 
them, and the build failed on kdeedu / khangman. Error: "no rule to make 
all".

* I've been dutifully applying Dan's KDE-CVS ebuilds whenever I see a new 
update.

* Every couple days I do a "rm -rf" of the portage distfiles/cvs-src 
directory and start fresh.

* I've tried using both the PACKAGE_OVERLAY option and untarring the latest 
KDE-CVS ebuild to /usr/portage.

* I've tried commenting out the KDE-beta2 stuff in package.mask and leaving 
it commented out. No difference (didn't think this should matter, but WTH).

No joy.

My "emerge -up kde" output still shows only the two packages and the build 
always falls down with khangman.

This is not a showstopper for me, as KDE continues to work flawless, but 
(a) it's perplexing me no end, and (b) I wouldn't mind having the kdeedu 
stuff on my system for my daughter to play with.

1. It seems increasingly odd to me that after three weeks of updates to the 
CVS tree my emerge output is only listing two packages.

2. It seems increasingly odd to me that after three weeks the KDE devs have 
not fixed the errant makefile for khangman.

3. I'm beginning to think I'm doing something wrong / missing something 
vital here.

Any insights, suggestions, explanations for my errors would be greatly 
appreciated. I'm running 1.4 "unstable", current as of this morning.

Best,
