OK my bad/stupid/ineptness..... OK? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Are these simple steps going to work? |
| 17 |
If not please edit. I do not care about |
| 18 |
extra compile time. I need a simple straightforward method |
| 19 |
to nuke(&&unistall all of KDE) and install via kde-meta |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
First:# |
| 23 |
<nuke all occurances of kde> |
| 24 |
cd /var/db/pkg && emerge -Cva kde-base/* |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Second: |
| 28 |
<Ensure all the old kde kruft is gone 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 |
| 29 |
# cd /var/db/pkg && emerge -Cva kde-base/*-3.{2,3,4}* |
| 30 |
# env-update && source /etc/profile && etc-update && update-eix && |
| 31 |
# eupdatedb |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Third: |
| 34 |
<clean up broken links> |
| 35 |
# revdep-rebuild -p |
| 36 |
# revdep-rebuild |
| 37 |
# emerge --sync |
| 38 |
# env-update && source /etc/profile && etc-update |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Fourth: |
| 41 |
<install kde-meta> |
| 42 |
# emerge -uavDNp kde-meta |
| 43 |
<if blocking occurs, unmerge blocking packages and return to First> |
| 44 |
# emerge -uavDN kde-meta |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Did I miss anything? Did I get anything out of order? |
| 48 |
Everyting went well, I just had lots of blocking packages when |
| 49 |
I did not expect too....? |
