[gentoo-user] KDEPIM-4.4.2015.06 blockages

[Mick]

I am updating an old machine which does not see much usage these days.  I came 
across this blockage, which seems is caused by retaining the pre-Kmail2 KDEPIM 
version on this PC:
===========================================
# emerge @preserved-rebuild -a

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

===========================================

Just checking the first block shows that the old KDEPIM needs it:

# emerge --depclean -a -v kde-apps/kdepim-wizards

Calculating dependencies... done!

>>> No packages selected for removal by depclean
Packages installed:   1201
Packages in world:    292
Packages in system:   44
Required packages:    1201
Number removed:       0

Is there a workaround for this, or does it mean time has arrived to decide 
whether I will be able to continue with Kmail1 and the old KDEPIM on this box, 
or not?
