I had a kde 3.4.0 installation and i emerged the 3.4.1, first kdelibs, then other parts. i also unmerged some kde 3.3 packages that had been lefover when upgrading to 3.4.0. After doing this kde failed to retrieve mails saying it could not start the pop3 process. I tried manually compiling kdepim from the distfiles directory with no improvement, reinstaling kdelibs 3.4.0 didnt work either, I also tried with and without zeroconf use variable (that is the only use variable that had changed from the 3.4 to 3.4.1 installations Problem was solved after installing with konstruct making it download source directly from kde, i used default konstruct configuration except for the prefix which i set to the /usr/kde/3.4 dir this makes me think it is an ebuild problem. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: portage should install a kde 3.4.1 that works as well as if compiling with kde.org source Dont know if might be related, probably not by I mention it, neither the 3.4.1 or the previous 3.4.0 kde installations where able to show devices in konqueror (protocol not supported), however this still doesnt work after using kompare, but kompare didnt quite finish installing kde because of disk problems , but the part it installed fixed kmail problem
Probably there was some problem with kio_pop3, which comes from the kdebase package. Unfortunately, since we cannot reproduce it, nobody else reported it and you overwrote your kde installation with something else, there's no way to say what it was. Please reopen if you find a way to reproduce it. btw: the devices problem is unrelated: see bug 81522.
