You are trying to unmerge akode 3.4 when you don't have it installed. I
take it you are trying to unmerge 3.4 having merged 3.5. The problem with
this script is that it assumes that the two releases used the same
package names. I prefer to use this, which removes all but the latest
version of each package.
equery --no-color --quiet list kde-base/ | awk '{print $1}' | sed
's:\(.*\)-3\.5.*:\1:' | xargs emerge --prune --pretend
Because it doesn't try to remove anything by explicit version number, it
won't have the sort of error you found. Remove --pretend when you are
happy with the results. You can check for any stray 3.4 packages left
over with
equery list kde-base/ | grep 3.4
