I still use kde-3.5 as my main desktop and I don't plan to update to kde-4 in the near future. But I do have qt-4 installed and for a consistent look, I use all the qtcurve packages in the tree. Today I tried to update the qtcurve-qt4 package from version 0.61.2 to version 0.61.4 which fails because the new version inherits the kde4-base eclass. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. echo ">=kde-base/kdelibs-4" >> /etc/portage/package.mask 1a. (optionally) quickpkg --include-config=y ">=kdelibs-4" && emerge -C ">=kdelibs-4" 2. echo "x11-themes/qtcurve-qt4 -kde" >> /etc/portage/package.use 3. emerge =qtcurve-qt4-0.61.4 Actual Results: # emerge -uDav @world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=kde-base/kdelibs-4.2[-kdeprefix]" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - kde-base/kdelibs-4.2.0-r3 (masked by: package.mask) - kde-base/kdelibs-4.2.0-r2 (masked by: package.mask) For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. (dependency required by "x11-themes/qtcurve-qt4-0.61.4" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "=qtcurve-qt4-0.61.4" [argument]) Expected Results: Like earlier qtcurve-qt4 ebuilds, successful installation without the need of any kde-4 stuff. # emerge --info Portage 2.2_rc23 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.3, glibc-2.8_p20080602-r1, 2.6.27.19 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.27.19-x86_64-AMD_Athlon-tm-_64_X2_Dual_Core_Processor_6000+-with-glibc2.2.5 Timestamp of tree: Mon, 02 Mar 2009 18:45:02 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.0 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.7 dev-lang/python: 2.5.4-r2 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.3 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.0 sys-apps/openrc: 0.4.3-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.3.8 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.19.1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6a virtual/os-headers: 2.6.28-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/init.d /etc/logrotate.d /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--alphabetical --with-bdeps=y" FEATURES="collision-protect distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/gentoo-mirror/ ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/gentoo ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo/ http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1,--hash-style=gnu,--sort-common,--as-needed" LINGUAS="de en" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/local/my-portage-experimental" SYNC="rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowext X a52 aac acpi alsa amd64 berkdb branding bzip2 cairo cdda cdr cli cracklib crypt dri dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode evo fam ffmpeg firefox flac gdbm gif gnutls gtk iconv isdnlog jpeg jpeg2k kde lame libnotify mad midi mikmod mmap mmx mmxext mp3 mp4 mpeg mudflap multilib ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ogg opengl openmp pam pcre pdf png ppds pppd qt3 qt3support quicktime readline reflection sdl session slang spell spl sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg sysfs theora threads tiff truetype usb vcd vorbis x264 xml xorg xulrunner xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="au8820 hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LINGUAS="de en" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx radeon radeonhd" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Reassigning to desktop-misc herd.
Created attachment 183710 [details, diff] qtcurve-qt4-0.61.4.ebuild.diff After removing the kde4-base eclass from the ebuild I could install version 0.61.4 successfully.
I fixed the ebuild, so after your next sync it should be fine. Thanks for reporting.
