I'm trying to get KDE 4 where I can use it so I used the layman to get
the latest. Anyway, I seem to have ran into a Block, may not be related
to KDE4 tho, that I just can't make sense of. This is the error I get:
[blocks b ] kde-base/kde-meta:4.3[-kdeprefix]
("kde-base/kde-meta:4.3[-kdeprefix]" is blocking kde-base/kde-meta-9999)

I didn't post the whole thing but the part about the Blocks with a
capital B. I have unmerged both lzma-utils and xz-utils but I still get
this error. How can they block it when they are not installed yet? I'm
missing something here. I just don't see it.
I found a thread on the forums and did what it said but I still get
this. It said to unmerge xz-utils which I did. Then I unmerged
lzma-utils for good measure.
Someone tell me the trick to this? Thanks.
