Oh dear! Have you confirmed these on different machines - just in case? I have removed pambase from world (how did that end up in there?) and rebuilt PyQt4 with sql and webkit, as well as net-libs/libgadu with threads that came up when I tried to run update world. Now I have a lorry load of KDE4 packages wanting to be installed: 238 packages (3 upgrades, 131 new, 103 in new slots, 1 reinstall, 2 uninstalls), Size of downloads: 484,302 kB Conflict: 2 blocks I will probably have to face this sooner rather than later. What's the best way to do this? Uninstall *everything* from KDE3.5 and then launch into this KDE4 upgrade marathon, or just emerge KDE4 in new slots? -- Regards, Mick
