Bugzilla Bug 72436

Since pykde-3.11.3 was marked stable, portage tries to downgrade my kdelibs to
3.3.0 :-/

It took me some time to find out what is happening, unfortunately does neither
the ebuild nor the ChangeLog of pykde tell *why* this dependency was
introduced.  A link would be great here.

I guess it was done because PyKDE is now included in kdebindings (see
http://mats.imk.fraunhofer.de/pipermail/pykde/2004-October/008879.html) -- but
that doesn't mean it should downgrade kdelibs but block against it (or even
better kdebindings).  Patch follows.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Withe kdelibs-3.3.1 and some old version of pykde installed do an:
emerge -upvt pykde

Actual Results:  
otherland /usr/portage/dev-python/pykde # emerge -upvt pykde

Sample patch against pykde-3.11.3.ebuild

I guess something like this is a cleaner solution.

It's because there is no "official" pykde version, which is compatible with kde
3.3.1. The one in kdebindings is a patched one, maintained in kde cvs and based
on pykde 3.11.1 iirc.

Thank you for the suggestion.
