This looks odd. You haven't mixed monolithic and meta packages by any chance? I would probably remove the blockers and try to re-emerge the required meta packages, but you may want to wait for a smarter suggestion.
I'm not sure what I did, it's so long ago. But I did try to follow directions to undo my monolithic setup using the Gentoo docs on the topic. I probably messed up, but that begs the question: why did it only show up now, a few years later. It's not as if I haven't rebooted in the meanwhile; I do it from time to time to update kernels. It may be that I'm not using metas, but just emerged things I needed, and let the dependencies do the rest. Hmmmmm. The dime just dropped, because I did my first depclean fairly recently, and dalek1967 just posted that kde-3.5 is part of kdebase-startdke on his system, and I don't have that package installed. It's just that I thought I rebooted after the depclean just to check things. (I had a fresh backup of the root partition at that point). ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD
