Today i installed gentoo on my new laptop. I Started from stable then i updated some packages to testing like KDE SC. kdelibs-4.4.5-r* is slotted as 4.4, kdelibs-4.6.2 is slotted as 4.4. Those 2 packages doesn't collides but kde-base/plasma-runtime-4.6.2 and kde-base/kdelibs-4.4.5-r4 does: Detected file collision(s): /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.kde.kcontrol.kcmremotewidgets.service /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.kde.kcontrol.kcmremotewidgets.policy /usr/lib64/kde4/libexec/kcmremotewidgetshelper Searching all installed packages for file collisions... Press Ctrl-C to Stop kde-base/kdelibs-4.4.5-r4 /usr/lib64/kde4/libexec/kcmremotewidgetshelper /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.kde.kcontrol.kcmremotewidgets.service /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.kde.kcontrol.kcmremotewidgets.policy Package 'kde-base/plasma-runtime-4.6.2' NOT merged due to file collisions. If necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole content of the above message. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install kdelibs from the 4.4 series 2. Update kde sc to 4.6 3. Notice kdelibs 4.4 is not removed automagically by portage and it collides with kde-base/plasma-runtime-4.6.2
I forgotten to say: the workaround is very easy. I simply removed kdelibs:4.4 with emerge -ca kdelibs:4.4 and then the 4.6 version worked with no problem (-C can e used if some other program still depends on kdelibs 4.4 but should not be necessary since kdelibs 4.6 is already installed)
Should be fixed now, thanks!
