If I do emerge -uDpv world I get this: [ebuild N ] kde-base/kdelibs-3.1.5-r1 [ebuild UD] kde-base/kdelibs-3.2.0 [3.2.3-r2] and emerge -s kdelibs tells me that I have version 3.3.0 installed. If I have 3.3.0 installed, will not installing any earlier version like 3.1.5 or 3.2.X be a problem and overwrite the existing kdelibs? Or can I have all these together? And is really 3.2.3-r2 installed? This is VERY confusing. Would someone, that knows more about kdelibs than I, like to have a look at this? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
No, they're slotted separately. The Gentoo forums and documentation have all of this information in them.
this is probably the best resolution for this bug.
