Re: [gentoo-user] portage confusion
Are you using kde-4.0.x or why do you have kde-3.5.7. Tried to update to kde-4.0.x near the end of January. This was after almost two years of not updating anything. This led to a emerge -uD world which took about a week over my string-and-can modem. Many, many failure to build errors kept me returning to the list for advice. See ,for instance, emerge -uD world: another obstacle in the archive. It was like crawling through the desert pursuing a mirage. I was unmerging here remerging there. Maybe that's when qca-2.0.0-r2 slipped into my system. I never completely understood why kde-4 couldn't be emerged. I ran update-eix and eix-sync. Even now when I do emerge -u kde it just points to 3.5.8. app-crypt/qca-2.0.0-r2 unmasked? You can add =app-crypt/qca-1.0-r3 ~whateverarchyouhave to /etc/portage.keyords and try again emerge -avuND world. Ok, that worked. Thanks. So if you didn't manage to install kde-4.0.x, you should revert your settings in /etc/portage/package.* and/or /etc/make.conf For instance you should have app-crypt/qca-2.0.0-r2 in /etc/portage/package.unmask which is not necessary if don't have kde-4. And then you don't need app-crypt/qca-1.0-r3 in /etc/portage/package.keywords either. I don't want to be offensive, but I strongly recommend you to do some cleanup! I also recommend to learn how to use portage (man portage, man ebuild, man emerge, and so on), how to manage /etc/package/package.*, revdep-rebuild and what emerge --depclean is doing! Learn how to handle blockers, to unmerge a specific version of a package if it is slotted and not needed anymore, or you will get in such troubles all the time! I would also recommend everybody to use udept which in my opinion is far superior to all other portage tools (depclean, eix-test-obsolete equery, and so on), or replaces many of them by one single tool. I use it for cleanup and other stuff, but it has some problems currently with USE_DEFAULTS and SLOT_DEPENDENCIES so it does not work correctly and its output has to be interpreted in the right way. There is also a bug open where an updated ebuild exists which solves other problems the current version has. I hope this problems go away and the maintainer of udept finds the time to work on it again, it would be a great loss if not! Btw, it is no problem to install kde-4 in parallel to kde-3! It is just a bit tricky and you should have some experience of how gentoo works. I would also not unmask a kde version which is currently masked and do a world update in parallel when i had not updated my system for about two years. It is expected that many problems occur if doing so because there are enough problems anyway after such a long time not having done update world! Portage wants to install kde-3.5.8 because it is now stable, thus normal! Kde-3.5.7 is not in the tree anymore, as far as i know. I am no kde user but i figured this all out by just reading this list and a bit research! Update-eix has in most cases nothing to do with upgrade problems. It is just a database listing your portage-tree. The only problem when not doing update-eix is that you may reason the wrong things because the database is out of date and you rely on the output of eix which is wrong!

What you should look for in the output of equery depends is whether any of the dependencies (as listed in the paranthesis after the package name) is a hard dependency on a particular version of python. Basically, look for something that says =virtual/python-2.3 or =virtual/python-2.3 or something like that.
