20 I didn't unmask nor keyword any *KDE4* stuff. Only KDE3. Previous
21 portage was happy with that. The new portage is not. I have dozens of
22 packages in package.keywords that look like this:
23
24 kde-base/kdelibs
25
26 Now portage wants to install the 4.1 versions of all those. The
27 previous portage did not; I had to tell it to keyword the 4.1 versions
28 if I wanted that.
