9 --buildpkg only works if the dependent packages are installed, you cannot
10 build kmail-4.2 (for package or install) if kdelibs-4.2 is not installed.
11 That's a long way round of saying that you can't do what you want and
12 build all the KDE4 packages in advance.

14 To minimise downtime, even though it increases the overall install time,
15 you could upgrade you your KDE3 install to 3.5.10. Then you can install
16 KDE 4.x alongside it.
