Thanks for your response. I did search the archives and did not find anything
relevant. I saw and read a thread where a block was occurring:
<=kde-base/kdebase-startkde-3.5.10" is blocking kde-base/kdelibs-4.2.0
It wasn't clear to me that this was the same problem, since that block
referenced a 3.5.10 package and mine referenced a 3.5.9 package.
However, upgrading to 3.5.10 raises another issue. For 3.5, I didn't install
the meta package, I installed the KDE base package:
ROOT / # eix -e kde
[I] kde-base/kde
Available versions: (3.5) 3.5.9
{accessibility}

3.5.10 is available under the meta package system but not under the KDE
package. Do I have to switch to the meta package to go to 3.5.10? (Without,
that is, manually unblocking lots and lots of packages.) Can I simply
install the meta package over the base package or will that create blocks or
other issues?
