What's forcing it is your version of amarok: # ChangeLog for media-sound/amarok # Copyright 2000-2005 Gentoo Foundation; Distributed under the GPL v2 # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/media-sound/amarok/ChangeLog,v 1.59 2005/06/27 10:21:02 flameeyes Exp $ *amarok-1.3_beta2 (27 Jun 2005) 27 Jun 2005; Diego Pettenò <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> +amarok-1.3_beta2.ebuild: New upstream beta. 22 Jun 2005; Hanno Boeck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> +files/amarok-gcc4.gz, amarok-1.2.4.ebuild: Fix for gcc4. 17 Jun 2005; Joseph Jezak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> amarok-1.2.3.ebuild: Marked ppc stable. 16 Jun 2005; Diego Pettenò <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> amarok-1.3_beta1.ebuild: Amarok 1.3 depends on kde 3.3 not 3.4. See that last entry? You need the 1.3 beta, not the last release. esults 1 - 1 of 1 amarok Description: amaroK - the audio player for KDE. Releases alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 mips ppc ppc64 ppc macos s390 sh sparc x86 1.3_beta2 - M~ - - - - M~ - - - - - M~ 1.3_beta1 - M~ - - - - M~ - - - - - M~ The betas are hard masked and package masked, so you will have to (from a root terminal): echo 'media-sound/amarok' >>/etc/portage/package.unmask and echo 'media-sound/amarok ~x86' >>/etc/portage/package.keywords then you should be able to get the version that depends on KDE 3.4. BTW, I'm using it (the beta build), and it seems fine (this is my first time using Amarok, so I have no previous experience). I don't even use KDE, but it's now my "default" player.
