Hello everyone, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Lots of people have complained that the new kdelibs-3.1-r1 and kdebase-3.1-r1 |
| 7 |
don't work for them when kde 3.0.x is installed as well: kde 3.1 shows the |
| 8 |
kde 3.0.x splashscreen and then hangs. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
This is due to a misunderstanding: for things to work, you need to install the |
| 11 |
latest 3.0.5a revisions as well, namely kdelibs-3.0.5a-r2 and |
| 12 |
kdebase-3.0.5a-r1. Unfortunately portage isn't smart enough to include |
| 13 |
upgrades of older slots in the world update list. So kde 3.0.x must be |
| 14 |
upgraded manually to these newer revisions, or things will break. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
A quick fix for the problem if you don't want to spend hours compiling right |
| 17 |
now is to edit /etc/env.d/65kdelibs-3.0.5a (or 65kdelibs-$ver for any older |
| 18 |
3.0.x version $ver). Remove the line that says KDEDIRS=/usr/kde/3. Run |
| 19 |
env-update and restart kdm. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I apologize for the problems this must have caused. I hope this will be a |
| 22 |
swift fix. |
