When I do "emerge -puD world" I get the following: bash-2.05b$ emerge -puD world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies / !!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "media-libs/taglib" have been masked. !!! possible candidates are: - media-libs/taglib-1.0 (masked by: ~keyword) - media-libs/taglib-1.1 (masked by: ~keyword) !!! (dependency required by "kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.2.0" [ebuild]) !!! Problem with ebuild kde-base/kde-3.2.0 !!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem. !!! Depgraph creation failed. My actual version of taglib is 1.0_beta2. The problem is that this version has been removed from portage while there is no other version available in the ppc tree, only in the ~ppc one. It probably means that you know have to use ~ppc if you want to emerge kde on a new system.

That problem has been solved quite a while ago now, this bug should be closed.
Thanks for your information, although we didn't helped you much. Closing as you wish.
