1 3.5 is still keyworded, iirc. If you remove kde from
2 /etc/packages.keyword, it should install 3.4.3. This command will
3 insert a "#" before each kde line. (It also makes a backup).

5 sed -i.bak s/kde-/\#\ kde-/ /etc/portage/package.keywords

7 KDE is slotted, and I'm not sure what happens when you
8 re-keyword-mask something slotted that you've emerged, but it will
9 probably try to unmerge 3.5 -- That's what you want, right?
10
11 You might also consider putting kde-base/arts into
12 /etc/portage/package.mask . Not sure what that'll break, but it might
13 Just Work (TM).

15 Peace,
