32 Uh, someone's confused here. It may very well be me but I'm not following you
33 at all. The other post concerned startkde blocking kdelibs.

35 My block is kdebase 3.5 blocking kdelibs 4.2. There's no mention of startkde
36 bocking anything on my system. So I don't follow why you're telling me that
37 I need startkde 3.5.10.
