23 You must have something badly wrong with your @system. kde-meta depends on:
24
25 RDEPEND="
26 $(add_kdebase_dep kate)
27 $(add_kdebase_dep kdeadmin-meta)
28 $(add_kdebase_dep kdeartwork-meta)
29 $(add_kdebase_dep kdebase-meta)
30 $(add_kdebase_dep kdeedu-meta)
31 $(add_kdebase_dep kdegames-meta)
32 $(add_kdebase_dep kdegraphics-meta)
33 $(add_kdebase_dep kdemultimedia-meta)
34 $(add_kdebase_dep kdenetwork-meta)
35 $(add_kdebase_dep kdeplasma-addons)
36 $(add_kdebase_dep kdetoys-meta)
37 $(add_kdebase_dep kdeutils-meta)
38 accessibility? ( $(add_kdebase_dep kdeaccessibility-meta) )
39 nls? ( $(add_kdebase_dep kde-l10n) )
40 sdk? (
41 $(add_kdebase_dep kdebindings-meta)
42 $(add_kdebase_dep kdesdk-meta)
43 $(add_kdebase_dep kdewebdev-meta)
44 )
45 semantic-desktop? ( || (
46 ( $(add_kdebase_dep kdepim-meta '' 4.5.93) )
47 ( $(add_kdebase_dep kdepim-meta '' 4.4.9) )
48 ) )
49 "
50
51 A few extra packages and a lot of other meta packages. "emerge -Cp" will
52 remove only that one package, it won;t even remove the deps.
