I had no problems going form 4.4rc2 to 4.4. Besides removing soprano. And slots don't mean anything since everything ends straight in /usr. If there are blocks, unmerge them. emerge -C ... or even faster pmerge --unmerge ... pretty easy. You can even unmerge whole sets. Superfast.

I'm using the same version of portage you are using. You sure it is not something that is not unmasked or something of that nature? I'd be glad to share my unmask and keyword files if you need them.

Helmut. pkgcore - in a lot of cases a lot faster than portage. Especially unmerging stuff.

Thanks Dale, but what should I use autounmask for? No version of kde is masked here. Helmut. At first portage gave me errors about things being masked/keyworded. So, I figured out it was trying to upgrade the kde-meta and used autounmask to make sure they were all available. After that, it just started updating. So far, no problems. Autounmask did add a lot of packages to package.keywords. I guess it did it for a reason since portage was complaining before I ran autounmask but isn't complaining now. I'm on package 6 at the moment. Dale :-) :-)

In general terms, portage knows you have package A that must stay at v4.3.5 and you want to upgrade it (or more likely something that depends on it) to v4.4. It's telling you I can't/won't do that. Please post the portage output for the blockers that portage won't resolve (not everything, that will be about 5000 lines) plus the command you are running if it's not emerge -avuND world. Also, are you aware that as of yesterday, KDE-4.4 was still hard masked in $PORTDIR/profiles/package.mask? It may have been removed meanwhile since my last sync. And what do you have related to kde in your own /etc/portage/package* ? -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

That was the first I tried, but then portage told me that something, it must have been kdelibs, depended on soprano[dbus,raptor,redland,virtuoso]. So next I tried with -semantic-desktop, but that, too, Hm... now it doesn’t anymore. I don’t know what changed it, perhaps the cleanup of old 4.3 packages. :-/ Well, whatever. I let it download over night and install during the afternoon while I was out. Now it’s too late to ponder about it any further. Who knows, perhaps I can even befriend with all that stuff. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla' *** Quits: TITANIC (Excess Flood) signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
