[gentoo-user] emerge @preserved-rebuild EVEN IF some needed package is masked

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

emerge @preserved-rebuild fails to do any updating since a single
(needed) package has been masked.
But I do need to keep kdelibs:3.5 which pulls in kde-misc/kdnssd-avahi:3.5
which has been masked.

Is it possible to tell emerge to do the other updates which don't need
this?

Dropping kde:3.5 too early is one of the biggest disappointsment of
GenToo! For someone who needs some package depending on it, it's really
hard. (I do need kexi)

Many thanks for some help,
Helmut.
