Which k3b ebuild version? Where's the typo?
Sorry, I was in a hurry posting this. Gave me a some problems trying re-emerge my tree and I traced in back to the k3b-0.11.17.ebuild. It is the only one affected. Here is the first bit: # Copyright 1999-2005 Gentoo Foundation # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/app-cdr/k3b/k3b-0.11.17.ebuild,v 1.11 2005/01/14 23:28:58 danarmak Exp $ inherit kde eutils DESCRIPTION="K3b, KDE CD Writing Software" HOMEPAGE="http://www.k3b.org/" SRC_URI="mirror://sourceforge/k3b/${P}.tar.bz2" LICENSE="GPL-2" KEYWORDS="x86 ppc ~sparc amd64" IUSE="arts dvdr kde oggvorbis mad flac encode" DEPEND="kde?

It should read kde-base/kdebase-meta. The other ebuilds need to be updated to include kdebase the meta ebuild as well, they only include the monolithic and kdesu? It looks rather like a jarbled mess right now spread out among the k3b ebuilds as 0.11.17 requires everything in the meta build and all other versions only require kdesu...
You're right, there's a typo, strange that we didn't catch it before... For explaination of the k3b dependencies, see bug 78235.
