For the most part, no. Almost every kde4 package (libs, apps, plugins, and more) got updated for KDE% and many were pkgmv'ed around to new categories. So 288 sounds like the right ballpark from memory. I found that the kde ebuild maintainers did a really good job with this, and virtually every upgrade went smooth for me. The KDE4 apps I still have (amarok, k3b, etc) have their DEPENDs correct so depclean tends to be correct as is, including the plasma SLOTs. If your world file is in good condition I recommend you let portage clean what it wants to. In the unlikely evnt the devs missed something, you can always emerge a missing package or two back. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
