Status:	RESOLVED INVALID
Severity:	normal

Attachments:	output of emerge -a kdm my world file emerge --info

Description Kevin O'Gorman 2008-01-29 04:37:48 UTC

Emerge -a kdm results in big blockage: kdebase is blocking a bunch of other KDE packages, which in turn are blocking kdebase.  Currently, emerge -aDNvu world, revdep-rebuild and depclean are all up-to-date.  The existing KDE stuff was pulled in by the single 'world' file entry kde-base/kdegames.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Build from scratch, using my world file
2.Emerge kdm
3.

Actual Results:  
blockage

Expected Results:  
emergence

Attaching world file, emerge info, sample output

You're mixing split & monolithic ebuilds. Find out what tries to install the monolithic ebuild (kde-base/kdebase:kde-4), using emerge --tree, and install the split equivalent.
