Are these simple steps going to work? If not please edit. I do not care about extra compile time. I need a simple straightforward method to nuke(&&unistall all of KDE) and install via kde-meta First:# <nuke all occurances of kde> cd /var/db/pkg && emerge -Cva kde-base/* Second: <Ensure all the old kde kruft is gone 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 # cd /var/db/pkg && emerge -Cva kde-base/*-3.{2,3,4}* # env-update && source /etc/profile && etc-update && update-eix && # eupdatedb Third: <clean up broken links> # revdep-rebuild -p # revdep-rebuild # emerge --sync # env-update && source /etc/profile && etc-update Fourth: <install kde-meta> # emerge -uavDNp kde-meta <if blocking occurs, unmerge blocking packages and return to First> # emerge -uavDN kde-meta Did I miss anything? Did I get anything out of order? Everyting went well, I just had lots of blocking packages when I did not expect too....?
