Howdy, I was going to try out some of the KDE5 stuff just to see if I'm going to like it or not. Anyway, I added a BUNCH of stuff to a keywords file related to KDE and got past that part. I think I got them all. Now I get this:
These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! !!! The ebuild selected to satisfy ">=media-libs/mlt-0.9.8-r1[ffmpeg,kdenlive,melt,qt5,sdl,xml]" has unmet requirements. - media-libs/mlt-0.9.8-r2::gentoo USE="ffmpeg frei0r gtk kde kdenlive melt opengl python qt5 sdl xml -compressed-lumas -debug -fftw -jack -libav -libsamplerate -lua -qt4 -rtaudio (-ruby) -vdpau -xine" ABI_X86="64" CPU_FLAGS_X86="mmx sse sse2" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7" The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied: kde?

It seems some can't handle both being enabled so disabled it is for now. Still, I can't figure out what emerge is trying to tell me here. I don't have a decoder ring but I know a couple here do. To try and get a idea on this for the future, I'm going to ask this way. When it says kde?, what does that mean? Does it want me to specify a version or something? I couldn't find a USE flag for a version of KDE, just the plain kde flag. Before it had a !qt4 in the error. I assume that ! means NO. After I disabled qt4 for the packages, that part of the error went away. Am I right on that or just lucky? Keep in mind, I'm not even a script kiddy. :/ OK Alan and Neil. Whip out your decoder ring. What is this thing trying to tell me. lol Dale :-) :-)
