OK my bad/stupid/ineptness..... OK?
Are these simple steps going to work?
If not please edit. I do not care about
extra compile time. I need a simple straightforward method
to nuke(&&unistall all of KDE) and install via kde-meta
First:#
<nuke all occurances of kde>
cd /var/db/pkg && emerge -Cva kde-base/*
Second:
<Ensure all the old kde kruft is gone 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4
# cd /var/db/pkg && emerge -Cva kde-base/*-3.{2,3,4}*
# env-update && source /etc/profile && etc-update && update-eix &&
# eupdatedb
Third:
<clean up broken links>
# revdep-rebuild -p
# revdep-rebuild
# emerge --sync
# env-update && source /etc/profile && etc-update
Fourth:
<install kde-meta>
# emerge -uavDNp kde-meta
<if blocking occurs, unmerge blocking packages and return to First>
# emerge -uavDN kde-meta
Did I miss anything? Did I get anything out of order?
Everyting went well, I just had lots of blocking packages when
I did not expect too....?
(sorry about being a grouch.... lack of sleep...>
