Yes, this is a quite separate issue, wh came up recently in another thread.
3.5.10 continues to work in its old dir :

  root:507 ~> eix libkdegames
    [?] kde-apps/libkdegames
    Available versions:  (4) 4.14.3(4/4.14) {aqua debug openal}
    Installed versions:  3.5.10(3.5)[1]([2012-10-30 21:28:23])(-debug -kdehiddenvisibility ELIBC="-FreeBSD") 4.14.3(4)([2014-12-13 20:50:26])(-aqua -debug -openal)

but there wb a problem, if I tried to re-install it :

  root:509 ~> emerge -pv =kde-base/libkdegames-3.5.10
    These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
    Calculating dependencies... done!
      [ebuild  N     ] kde-base/libkdegames-3.5.10:3.5::kde-sunset  USE="-debug -kdehiddenvisibility" 0 KiB

So leave well alone for now & see what cb done when I build a new machine.

I tried dynamic-deps earlier, but it led to even more confusing output.

I can only repeat my -- & others' -- plea to all the devs
to try to make Emerge output more understandable for ordinary users.

Thanks for your prompt + patient replies (smile).
