I am ready to update my system and a problem has crept up that I thought
I'd solved previously.
When I do an "emerge -Duva world", I get "kdebase is blocking konsole"
and then later down the list I have "konsole is blocking kdebase".
I understand that kde-base/kdebase is a monolithic package and I
actually only want individual packages on my system, so I didn't install
it. However, something is now trying to pull it in.
"eix -e" of kdebase and kde shows that neither is installed (not the
monolithic nor the meta package).
"equery depends kdebase" lists:
app-cdr/k3b-0.12.4a
kde-base/kdm-3.4.1
kde-base/kcheckpass-3.4.1
kde-base/kdebase-meta-3.4.1
but "emerge -Duvp k3b kdm kcheckpass kdebase-meta" doesn't show the
blockage problem.
"emerge -tuvp world" shows that kdegames is the culprit, but it is
installed now and doesn't have kde-base.
Should I remove kdegames and put in kdegames-meta instead?
What is the difference between kde, kdebase, and kdebase-meta? All
three have version 3.5.0, so it's apparent that none supercede the
others...
Thanks!
