3.5 is still keyworded, iirc. If you remove kde from
/etc/packages.keyword, it should install 3.4.3. This command will
insert a "#" before each kde line. (It also makes a backup).
sed -i.bak s/kde-/\#\ kde-/ /etc/portage/package.keywords
KDE is slotted, and I'm not sure what happens when you
re-keyword-mask something slotted that you've emerged, but it will
probably try to unmerge 3.5 -- That's what you want, right?
You might also consider putting kde-base/arts into
/etc/portage/package.mask . Not sure what that'll break, but it might
Just Work (TM).
Peace,

Hey everyone.
Here is my situation. Its a rather long one:
I want to get kde 3.4.3 without arts. At all.
I am hoping to go USE="-arts +alsa" emerge =kde-3.4.3
That seems easy, but it isn't.
I already have 3.4.1 installed. As well as 3.5.0.
I think I used the split ebuild thing (grrr) which involved using a
loop-style
bash script to put a lot into /etc/portage/package.keywords for 3.4.1.
I think I just used emerge kde to get 3.5.
What I want, is to end up with kde 3.4.3 (only) installed, without arts.
I would first like to unmerge both 3.5 and 3.4.1, but as I used the split
ebuilds Im not sure how....
Any and all help would be very much appreciated.
Also, Please dont try and convince me to just use GNOME or *box or
something.
I love KDE and I hate arts. :)
I did a search for kde stuff (emerge search kde) and it seemed kinna weird.
I wont post it as it is huge. Unless, of course you want to see it.
Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
Ian
