Hallo, I am updating another computer (not updated for a longer time :-(( ) with old KDE (3.5.10) installed, and I want to keep it installed.

I have tried various options, like -o, -0 and others, but without success. Thank you very much for your help, and wish you successful new year. Dan T.


-0 is a very bad idea. Regarding -o, I marked a text passage from the man page for you:
-o , --permit-old-version
Permit installs of versions matching the supplied specification even if those versions are worse than the best visible version *in the slot*. Use '*/*' to allow all worse versions to be
              installed.

You could try something like --without 'kde-base/*:3.5', although it might be a better idea to migrate the ebuilds to your local repository or find a repository which still maintains them. Actually, it would be a better idea to get rid of it, but I guess that's not an option for you. :-P ;-)
