Thanks! Problems solved. I may have been using Gentoo for a while, but |
| 20 |
every once in a while, I have a learning curve. To explain: Yesterday, |
| 21 |
when I tried to update world, I got a bunch of messages because |
| 22 |
kde-4.7.4 packages were installed and some upgrades wanted changes to |
| 23 |
USE flags. I resolved the problem by unmerging and installing the |
| 24 |
masked packages for kde-4.8.1. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Allan McKinnon was right in that I told emerge to bring in activity |
| 27 |
manager - despite the fact that I had unmerged version 4.7.4, I thought |
| 28 |
I needed it so had it in my package.keywords file. When I couldn't move |
| 29 |
windows around, I had an "epiphany" and realized that there must be |
| 30 |
other kde-base packages that needed to be upgraded to 4.8.1 because I |
| 31 |
had installed kdebase-meta when I was installing Linux on this computer |
| 32 |
back last summer when it was new. Anyway, I did the upgrades necessary |
| 33 |
for kdebase-meta and now everything is back to normal. |
| 34 |

| 35 |
So, thanks again, everyone that responded. |
