I am trying to install KDE 4.2 or 4.3 on a stable KDE 3.5.10 system, following the guidelines in http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/kde/kde4-guide.xml, and the emerge fails with the following blocks: --------------------------------------------------- [blocks B ] net-wireless/bluez-libs ("net-wireless/bluez-libs" is blocking net-wireless/bluez-4.39) [blocks B ] net-wireless/bluez ("net-wireless/bluez" is blocking net-wireless/bluez-libs-3.36)
Total: 294 packages (3 upgrades, 145 new, 141 in new slots, 5 reinstalls),

Conflict: 2 blocks (2 unsatisfied)
* Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be
* installed at the same time on the same system.
('installed', '/', 'net-wireless/bluez-libs-3.36', 'nomerge') pulled in by
>=net-wireless/bluez-libs-3.12 required by

('ebuild', '/', 'net-wireless/bluez-4.39', 'merge') pulled in by
net-wireless/bluez required by

---------------------------------------------------
I don't use gnome, but it appears that gnome-base/gvfs is ultimately pulled in
by net-im/pidgin, which I do use. Does this mean I can't continue using
pidgin with KDE4? Are there good alternatives to pidgin, including OTR (the
encrypted plug-in)?
