19 You cannot install kdelibs and kdebase simultaneously. One is a monolithic
20 package, the other is a split ebuilf. There is an article on the doc site
21 about this, search for "KDE split ebuild guide".
22
23 And you MUST uninstall kdebase to use kde-3.5.10. Monolithic ebuilds are not
24 supported for 3.5.10. Or you could stick with 3.5.9 and mask 3.5.10
