The upgrade of all of the already-installed KDE-ports must not be a requirement for the step 3 to succeed. This is the same "debate" we've had years ago regarding LIB_DEPENDS -- when various ports insisted on requiring a particular major shlib number. Fortunately, that debate is behind us. Unfortunately, KDE-team needs a refresher... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
