Hi,
not sure what the actual problem is here - i've installed k3b a while ago when 3.4.x was the stable version. As a dependency, kdesu (which is used for k3bsetup) was installed with version 3.4.1.
At some time kde 3.5 became stable, and after some recent cdrecord update i needed to run k3bsetup again.This results in: /usr/bin/k3bsetup: line 20: kdesu: command not found
Not really a surprise, because
# grep -r kde /etc/env.d/
/etc/env.d/45kdepaths-3.5:PATH=/usr/kde/3.5/bin
/etc/env.d/45kdepaths-3.5:ROOTPATH=/usr/kde/3.5/sbin:/usr/kde/3.5/bin
/etc/env.d/45kdepaths-3.5:LDPATH=/usr/kde/3.5/lib
/etc/env.d/45kdepaths-3.5:CONFIG_PROTECT="/usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown"

and my kdesetup is still the 3.4.1 one.
Possible solutions (which all work for me here locally):
- emerge -uD world updates kdesu
- emerge -uva1 kdesu updates kdesu as well
- adding the path to the old version would work too.
- i guess if i remove all kde 3.4.x stuff the dependency should pull in kdesu 3.5 as well

However i assume that it may make sense that k3b should take care of that dependency itself with some voodoo probably?

# emerge k3b results in:
[ebuild   R   ] app-cdr/k3b-0.12.14  USE="alsa dvdr encode ffmpeg flac kde mp3 vcd vorbis -arts -css -debug -hal -musepack -musicbrainz -sndfile -xinerama"

Not sure if this an easy to fix issue with slotted packages.

Well, KDE was never meant to be run with multiple versions side by side, so you noticed one of the problematic issues, a runtime dependency of another slotted version that isn't in path. A possible workaround would be to move each kde_binary_foo to  kde_binary_foo-binary and create for each a kde_binary_foo script that calls kde_binary_foo-binary with its environment. Messy? Yes. :)

Running multiple KDE versions is good for testing and eases migration, because (most) applications remain functional while rebuilding, but you should really do that and if you keep the older KDE version, do so only for development/compatibility tests.

revdep-rebuild --library /usr/kde/3.4/lib/libkdecore.so.4 

should do it in this case.

I don't think we will ever do something about it. It's about time to remove KDE 3.4 from the tree anyways (imho).
