Yes, that's my experience w KDE + Qt in the past. I solved the problem as before by logging into Fluxbox, removing KDE Apps Plasma Frameworks via @-files & re-installing ditto in reverse order ; everything worked. > Since you could not install kio:6, emerge tried to install kio:5 instead. > Naturally, kio:5 depends on various KDE 5 packages. That's lunatic ! -- very few, if any, users would want to do that. Portage lacks intelligence & it shows an obtuse face to users. It's been there largely unchanged since I started using Gentoo in 2003. It's high time some effort was put into a serious update. > Lots of software still exists which was written during the KDE 5 days > and doesn't have active upstream maintainers.

Yes indeed : I dropped my favorite file-manager Krusader, which won't work with KDE 6 ; perhaps it wb brought upto-date one day. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatcadotinterdotnet
