I'm upgrading to KDE4.8 RC1. But emerge wants to install several -9999 packages. I upgraded as much as possible packages manually and I end up with this: # emerge -1uavtDN kde-base/kdebase-startkde These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Please use proper unmask and keyword files. Help can be found in the Gentoo KDE guide http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/kde/kde4-guide.xml. You can also ask in #gentoo-kde on freenode irc.
