I just installed KDE 4.3.3 in a mostly stable ppc system, and I'd love to see it go stable (especially since 3.5.10 got dropped, so Gentoo ppc currently has no stable KDE). There were a few steps I had to go to resolve dependency and useflag issues: # add/remove required/blocking useflags echo USE=\"${USE} tk sql webkit mysql -lzma -sane_backends_canon_pp -sane_backends_hpsj5s -sane_backends_qcam\" >> /etc/make.conf # remove blockers I couldn't resolve easily emerge -C kdepim-meta konqueror-akregator # add keywords for kde 4.3.3: # see to be attached kde-4.3.3.keywords # fetch sources which might have fetch restrictions emerge --keep-going --fetchonly -1 dev-java/ibm-jdk-bin dev-java/java-sdk-docs # Make sure we only have python 2.6.x (for some reason PyQt didn't like Python 3.1) emerge -C dev-lang/python:3.1 # update emerge --keep-going -uN kde-meta dev-libs/poppler-qt3 virtual/poppler-qt3 virtual/poppler dev-tex/luatex (luatex is required in my keywords, too, since it otherwise requires an old poppler) Reproducible: Always

Your bug report seems very strange. KDE 4.3.3 is already stable for PPC for 4 weeks. Please sync again. You can verify it in the following links: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292455 http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/kde-base/kdelibs/kdelibs-4.3.3-r1.ebuild?rev=1.4&view=markup I will close this bug as invalid, but please tell me here if there are any missing depedencies or any other problem, and I will let the ppc team know about it
I didn't get to post the bugreport at once (wanted to check some things before actually posting it) and I somehow managed to miss the stabilization... As I now know how much work it is to install KDE when it isn't stable: Thank you for stabilizing KDE 4 for ppc! And to Murphy with synchronization issues ;)
