Description: KDE's terminal emulator
Are we going to be forced to install the whole of KDE 5
if we want to go on using some very useful KDE apps ?
It was removed 17 days ago. No reason was mentioned.

Oh dear ! -- another bug to open (grimace) ?
'emerge konsole' wants to install 107 pkgs, incl 87 new ones ;
among them are sound software + Ruby.
Is this what KDE officialdom now requires or can Gentoo work around it ?
My understanding was that KDE is now a 'software collection',
which allows users to pick whichever pieces they prefer : has that changed ?
I really can't give proper answer to your whinge-rant without at least
the output of emerge with -t
The bulk of those packages are probably kde frameworks and plasma. It's
hard to run konsole-5 without them. You're getting sound because that's
quite a normal to put on a desktop, and ruby because some package in
world is a ruby script. And the packages are lots of small ones, very
few huge monolithic packages left in Gentoo's KDE ebuilds. And yes, you
very much CAN pick and choose kde-apps individually, but you don't get
to choose if you want to install the deps or not
Konsole:4 is moved to kde-sunset, enable that overlay and get things
back as they were 17 days ago
