[gentoo-user] kde:3.5 dependency mess

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

kde:3.5 poses me a Gordian knot which I cannot cut.

Besides the whole kde:4.2 packages I still have kde:3.5 packages.

Trying to re-emerge e.g. kde-base/kdepim:3.5 I get blocking packages.
Many packages are built with kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.10-r2 but some
are in use with were built with kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.9-r4, e.g. 
app-office/kformula
When I try to re-emerge app-office/kformula separately it fails
with some linker errors.

So, how can I cut my Gordian knot? (except re-emerging the whole
kde-meta:3.5)


Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

 Many thanks for a hint,
 Helmut.

get rid of 3.5.9. Install 4.2 with kdeprefix. Reemerge everything that is 
broken afterwards.
