I looked at the blog entry and at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=230247 which it cites and the bug implies that you need kdepimlibs-4.5.*. So maybe the solution is to unemerge kdepimlibs-4.4.* and then rebuild KDEPIM-4.4 against kdepimlibs-4.5.1. > You have kopete and other ebuilds pulling in >=kdepimlib-4.5.1 so hard > masking the later version won't work.

Otherwise I will go with choice 2! -Robin -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Robin Atwood.
