A removal phase of the 'kde-base/kmessedwords-3.4.2' package has failed
with exit value 1. The problem occurred while executing the ebuild
located at
'/var/db/pkg/kde-base/kmessedwords-3.4.2/kmessedwords-3.4.2.ebuild'. If
necessary, manually remove the ebuild in order to skip the execution of
removal phases.
