I had a similar problem with upgrading when 3.4 was unmasked. The problem is |
| 23 |
moving from the old monolithic ebuilds to the new split ones. I believe it's |
| 24 |
because you are trying to install both split and unsplit ebuilds that provide |
| 25 |
some of the same programs. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
My solution to sort out the mess was to unmerge all the monolithic kde |
| 28 |
ebuilds, and then emerge the stuff I wanted (kdebase-startkde is the split |
| 29 |
ebuild that provides the basic stuff like the window manager, though even that |
| 30 |
isn't necessary if you only want to run some kde apps and not the full |
| 31 |
kaboodle). |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
It sounds like you might already have the new split ebuilds installed, so you |
| 34 |
might just need to remove the monolithic ones from your world file, or |
| 35 |
possibly unmerge them if they're still around. Of course, that assumes you |
| 36 |
want to use the split ebuilds. |

is helpful. A bit of research with the online package database to work out |
| 43 |
which ebuilds are the split ones, which the monolithic ones, and which ones |
| 44 |
you actually want should sort you out. |
