I've set up a new ~amd64 system with plain X & fvwm as window manager and want to use kontact et aliter ... therefore I first installed kde-base/kdebase-runtime-meta which pulls in all the packages from KDE-4.5.4 (as recommended by tampakrap on #gentoo-kde). After that I try to install korganizer, kaddressbook & konsolekalendar which bails out because of blocking errors :-/ Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge kde-base/kdebase-runtime-meta 2. emerge korganizer kaddressbook konsolekalendar Actual Results: %> emerge -va korganizer kaddressbook konsolekalendar These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies ... done!
