In the following line kdepackages is a file with a premade list of kde packages I want to emerge.

Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. I have seen a very similar problem solved here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-2003728.html#2003728 however I'm a wimp and I have not attempted to emerge other packages and find a (possible?) missing dependency.
I forgot to mention that kitchensync is the FIRST package in the emerge list.
Feeling brave I tried :) emerge --oneshot kontact solved the problem, so it's either kontact or one of its dependencies that was missing.
You're correct, thanks. :)
