I wrote: So far, I see no difference from 4.5.0. Nepomuk crashed two times while indexing stuff. I rebuilt it with debug flags, but could not reproduce the bug yet. But 4.5.1 just got masked, so better wait a while until trying to do the upgrade. Wonko

Konqueror still cannot open the correct URL when clicking a link in kmail or kopete. Kontact is still at version 4.4.5, but works. I wrote I don't use kdepim, but I was not aware that kontact is part of this suite. So, I do use kdepim. So far, I see no difference from 4.5.0. Wonko
[gentoo-user] Blocks migrating from KDE 4.4.3 to 4.5.1
I decided to attempt the upgrade to KDE 4.5.1 now it's out. Upgrading Qt to
4.6.3 got rid of most of the blocks but I am left with a problem with
kdepimlib. It looks like various kdenetwork packages are dragging in
kdepimlib-4.5.1 which is incompatible with keeping KDEPIM at 4.4. Anyone else
seen this and (hopefully) have a solution?

Are you installing from portage or from the overlay?

I am running 4.5.0 for a while now, and for me it is the best KDE4 ever. Which does not mean that all is perfect, but there are less bugs than with previous versions, and, so far, few new bugs. Most annoying for konqueror users is that when you open an URL from a link in kmail or kopete, it opens a local copy in /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER/krun/ [1], without CSS and with links not working. I got used to chromium as default browser so this is not a big issue for me. The kdepim suite was not ready yet, I don't use it anyway. Not sure if I should suggest using it - I also heard bad things about it, but personally I did not regret the update. I was disappojnted with KDE 4.4, so I dared to do this. If things are working for you, I'd suggest to wait a little longer. I mentioned in a thread somewhere that I tried installing KDE 4.5.0. Thing is, all I got was a lot of broken pieces and no GUI for several hours while I downgraded. Always install some additional window managers for these cases :) So at least you have a GUI and can do useful things with your machine while downgrading. FEATURES=usepkg is also useful and reduces build time. Or back up your whole system before, this is what I do. In an emergency, I can just go back in a short time. Me, I'm waiting until they get it in the tree unless some people post they can get it from a overlay and everything just works. KDE 4.5.1 just hit the kde overlay (including kdepimlibs-4.5.1, but other kdepim stuff still is at 4.4), I'm starting to build as soon as my backup has finished. I'll report my experiences when it's done. Could take a while. No idea why I do not get the blockers the OP has. Wonko [1] https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=245525

The bad thing is, I use kdm for my login manager. Even that was broken. I had no GUI and no way to login to KDE or anything else. I do save binaries but a few of them got deleted. I guess eclean got a little froggy or something. Some of the larger packages, qt, kdelibs, etc, etc, had to rebuild from scratch. At least I didn't have to have OOo rebuilt. o_O Looking forward to seeing how your upgrade works out. Dale :-) :-)

Wonko That may have helped if kdm was the only thing broken. I got part way through the upgrade then had packages that wouldn't build. Portage gave up on skipping packages and just stopped building. I couldn't get past that problem so I had to go back to the older KDE. So, kdm was broke but so was KDE itself. I needed something like Fluxbox that could run all by itself with nothing related to KDE. Glad you got backups. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
