Trying to update from kde4.5 to kde4.6
I find that it is easier to unmerge old version :4.5 KDE, then emerge
the new version :4.6. Upgrade always seems to be a mess like that.
Probably there's no real problem but I think in my recent machines if
I've chosen the KDE profile and try something like emerge -Cp kde-meta
then there are lots of warning messages about how I'm removing parts
of @system. It's unlikely (in my mind anyway) that anything would be
removed that stops one from doing the 4.6 emerge, but if one goes this
way they should look very carefully at what's getting taken out just
to make sure.
You must have something badly wrong with your @system. kde-meta depends on:

A few extra packages and a lot of other meta packages. "emerge -Cp" will
remove only that one package, it won;t even remove the deps.
Does anyone remember the discussion I had about kde packages being in
the system set when doing a emerge -e system? If I for example unmerge
kde-meta then run --depclean, I bet I would get the error about system
packages being removed. It may be because of USE flags but this was
what I was concerned about during the last discussion. Having GUI
packages, especially KDE, included in the system set, even if because of
USE flags, is going to lead to problems at some point.
Or maybe I am reading all this wrong?
