Portage might be able to handle this automatically if you upgrade @world directly, but if you only ask to upgrade specific packages (the case here?), you may be leaving out some package which needs to be upgraded at the same time. If that is the problem, solving it is probably a matter of identifying packages which are not being upgraded and that depend on currently installed versions of packages that will be upgraded. The output you have included in the message I'm replying to is, unfortunately, not enough - unless I'm misreading, I think it only says that: - kcrash needs to be upgraded to allow the kcoreaddons upgrade, and - kglobalaccel needs to be upgraded to allow kconfig, kwindowsystem, kdbusaddon and kcrash upgrades But these two are already part of your emerge command, so there is possibly something else that is not in this list. Could you please share the output with --verbose-conflicts? -- Nuno Silva
