Did a world update. Portage wants to remove konsole 5. [ebuild N ] kde-apps/konsolepart-4.14.3 USE="(-aqua) -debug -minimal {-test}" [ebuild U ] kde-apps/konsole-4.14.3-r2 [4.14.3-r1] USE="(-aqua) -debug -handbook {-test} (-minimal%*)" [blocks b ] <kde-apps/konsole-4.14.3-r2 ("<kde-apps/konsole-4.14.3-r2" is blocking kde-apps/konsolepart-4.14.3) [uninstall ] kde-apps/konsole-15.08.3 USE="X handbook -debug {-test}" [blocks b ] kde-apps/konsole:4[-minimal(-)] ("kde-apps/konsole:4[-minimal(-)]" is blocking kde-apps/konsole-15.08.3) Offending statement in ebuild konsole-15.08.3: !kde-apps/konsole:4[-minimal(-)] So if I'm reading it correctly, we don't want to see a konsole 4 without the minimal flag. And it defaults to - if not present. This was there a long time ago. But in recent change log: kde-apps/konsole: Drop USE=minimal, RDEPEND on konsolepart instead Andreas Sturmlechner, 04 Jan 01:17, commit 86bf6b72 konsole-4.14.3-r2.ebuild So now it's not possible to have konsole 4 and 5 at the same time because you can never make that statement happy. Is this a typo? The r1 ebuild works fine. bliss /home/clement # emerge -pqv konsole:4/4.14 [ebuild N ] kde-apps/konsolepart-4.14.3 USE="(-aqua) -debug -minimal {-test}" [ebuild U ] kde-apps/konsole-4.14.3-r2 [4.14.3-r1] USE="(-aqua) -debug -handbook {-test} (-minimal%*)" [blocks b ] <kde-apps/konsole-4.14.3-r2 ("<kde-apps/konsole-4.14.3-r2" is blocking kde-apps/konsolepart-4.14.3) [uninstall ] kde-apps/konsole-15.08.3 USE="X handbook -debug {-test}" [blocks b ] kde-apps/konsole:4[-minimal(-)] ("kde-apps/konsole:4[-minimal(-)]" is blocking kde-apps/konsole-15.08.3) bliss ~ # emerge -pqv '=konsole-4.14.3-r1' [ebuild R ] kde-apps/konsole-4.14.3-r1 USE="minimal (-aqua) -debug -handbook {-test}" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -avuDN @world Actual Results: konsole for KDE 5 removed. Expected Results: konsole for KDE 5 coexist with the one for KDE 4 (required for Yakuake).
I have the same problem here. This change forces me to remove kdevelop and kile, as they are depending on konsole:4. Reporter: Please add the [kde-overlay] prefix to the bug. Here is the change that causes the trouble: https://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-commits@lists.gentoo.org/msg177741.html
Actually this is a duplicate of bug 571422
i am not quite sure, because this bug (at least the title) has a larger scope than just the kdebase-meta dependcy.
This bug is a feature. konsole:5 blocks konsole:4, but not konsolepart:4. You need to adjust your package.accept_keywords file. ;)
Thanks for the explanation. emerge -1 konsolepart fixed the problem. There's actually nothing in my keyword file that's stopping konsolepart. But for some odd reasons, portage insist on konsole:4 even though yakuake accept both as alternative. I've tried to manually unmerge konsole:4. And yakuake wants to merge it back and unmerge konsole:5. Only a manual emerge -1 konsolepart finally convinced it to pick that for the dep.
What version of kde-apps/kdebase-meta do you have installed?
> What version of kde-apps/kdebase-meta do you have installed? None. :-) Replaced it with plasma-meta during the KDE 5 upgrade. I don't remember what I did but I do remember the process is very messed up. Wasn't able to keep kdebase-meta. I checked my world file. konsole was not in it. The only reason for pulling in konsole:4 is as a dep of yakuake. On the other hand, since it's not in world, there's no reason to pull in konsole:5 neither. emerge -pv --depclean konsole confirms nobody is pulling in konsole:5. I guess that's why portage thinks we can just unmerge it. Oddly enough, I do emerge --depclean regularly and konsole was never removed. Maybe I should do an emerge --noreplace konsole to put that in world file explicitly until we have a KDE5 meta package that pulls it in? That should stop portage from thinking it's okay to remove konsole:5. Looks like that's what you recommend in that bug as well.
OK, that would explain portage behaviour in your case. I wrongly assumed konsole:5 was going to be removed because of kdebase-meta:4 in your @world. Upgrade process should have considerably improved by now.
USE=minimal was dropped from kde-apps/konsole:4 completely in favour of konsolepart:4 which can be co-installed with konsole:5. The latter is automatically pulled in by slot 5 meta packages in plasma profile.
