Can someone either explain or give me a pointer to an explanation for the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ # emerge --pretend kdm These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ # equery list kdebase [ Searching for package 'kdebase' in all categories among: ] * installed packages [I--] [ ] kde-base/kdebase-pam-6 (0) [I--] [ ] kde-base/kdebase-3.5.1-r1 (3.5) I have kdebase-3.5.1-r1 installed. Why is kdm-3.5.1 blocked? Surely kdebase is a requirement for kdm, and it makes no sense to say that kdm-3.5.1 needs an earlier version of kdebase, does it? I'm probably missing some fundamental understanding of what's going on here. Thanks for any assistance. -- [email protected] mailing list
