It works! I mean emerging kde-meta is not finished yet, but it has gone past the obstacle (kscreensaver) it was getting stuck at after I have done "emerge -1v kdelibs". Thanks. Now my question is: why? "man emerge" says that the -1 option is equivalent to "--oneshot" which is "Emerge as normal, but do not add the packages to the world file for later updating." But how does it help emerge something which was not emerging without -1?! May be I am missing something obvious, but please explain. > Also, what this heck is this about?

But the mail scanner must have modified the URL in the attachment in some manner to include those strange warning/error messages. I am not sure about the working principles of our institute mail server/scanner. :) Best regards, Suman Chakrabarty.
