Hello, Confidence is high that I've mucked_up this upgrade to kde-4.2.1.
I was content to leave the system at 3.5.9 and while I was messing around, I guess I triggered a kde 4.2.1 install (I had started the upgrade and decide to wait some weeks ago.) Long story short, I'm now running kde-4.2.1 [OK] I moved my world file to a backup so as to avoid all of those dependency issues. It worked pretty well. However, now I'm adding the packages back a few at a time and lots of stuff calls for kdelibs-3.5.9-r1. Where I'm confused is can I have 2 versions of kdelibs installed at the same time? My gut tells me NO? What am I missing. Kde-4.2.1 is up and running. Although I have not extensively tested it, I can run konqueror and seamonkey and many other apps. just fine. So what I think I need to do (again) is Mask kdelibs 3.5.x completely? (syntax suggestions here for package.mask are welcome) emerge -C kde-3.5.9* (can I do this?) emerge --depclean -a and then watch closely what I emerge? ??? obviously confused, James
