My Problem is, to install a new readline (-6) parallel to the old (-5). Would it help, to change the SLOT Variable in the ebuild files, or is there any option or Variable to override the slot settings? Try running this by itself: emerge -1 sys-libs/readline:0 sys-libs/readline:5 That should upgrade readline-5.2_p12 to readline-6.2_p1 with SLOT=0, and then install readline-5.4_p14 with SLOT=5. You can then run your larger update, which should no longer produce slot conflicts. Thanks, it worked.

That's what I did. But I tend to switch browsers too often (chromium and Firefox). Firefox has a pdf.js addon, doesn't work reliably many times.

For other people trying it for the first time, note that it adds a module in the KDE's System Settings to select which file types should be handled by the plugin. (After some searching about how to configure it, I found this in the changelog.)
