I don't need kde, so I never emerged kde. However, portage tries to emerge kde-base/arts when I emerge world : $ emerge -pvtuD world
These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order: Calculating world dependencies ...done!

If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. but qt-3.3.4-r2 is installed. I have 2 questions. 1. what can I do to resolve this ? (except masking arts) 2.
