13 I just ran into this problem last night. I ran
14 equery depends kdelibs
15 made sure NONE of them specifically depended on kdelibs-3.3.2 (in my
16 case they were all compiled against kdelibs-3.4.x during a few of the
17 past update cycles).
18 then I just
19 emerge unmerge =kde-base/kdelibs-3.3.2-r7
20 and revdep-rebuild stops complaining.
