As this version of kde is slotted I believe that after your compilation |
| 15 |
finishes, and you find the new KDE in working state, you should: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
emerge prune kde |
| 18 |
emerge -va prune arts |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
and then run emerge -av --depclean |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
After depclean there will be a few leftovers from kde if I recall well. |
| 23 |
You may find them looking at /usr/kde/3.3/ and finding packages that own |
| 24 |
files left there. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
qpkg -f /usr/kde/3.3/some-file |
| 27 |
emerge -va prune the-package-found-if-it-is-part-of-kde |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Some files will not belong to any package, you may delete them, some |
| 30 |
packages will have to be rebuild to use the new KDE version and leave |
| 31 |
the old - dev-db/knoda in my case... |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Surely you may cook a nice script that will find and clear the KDE |
| 34 |
leftovers in more hackish way, but it was very hot the day I was doing |
| 35 |
this and my brain cooling system was not working properly... :-) |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Remember to run revdep-rebuild -p after you remove some packages. It may |
| 38 |
help you to find ones that need to be unmerged, and it is anyway a good |
| 39 |
habit to run it. |
