Remove ALL version-specific information for kde entries from world. Don't mix and match -meta packages and sets. Beware of kde-misc entries - often times they have depends on the old SLOT and pull in conflicts. These ebuilds are not as maintained as the kdebase ones, same with the apps themselves. I've just upgraded to 4.4 here and fixing the above issues put portage in a position where it could automagically do everything correctly and deal with all blockers -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
