Recently did a equery hasuse xmms and i'm in the process of remerging things on that list with -xmms set. Okay. One of them was kdeaddons, which wants to pull in kdepim. Kdepim says it's blocked by mimelib, and i can't imagine how or why. In fact i keep getting many parts of kde blocking each other, and i'm not sure what i did there; but usually it's <subpart> blocked by <metapackage> or vice-versa. These two seem totally unrelated.

If you have the mimelib package installed, you cannot have kdeaddons (monolithic) installed. Some odd cross-slot update problem aside Portage 2.1.1 still suffers from, I can't tell what's your problem. Please make sure yo've uninstalled older KDE versions and if this doesn't help, post the output.
Okay. Sorry to take so long, here's some more info. I do not have any earlier versions of kde on my system. With the latest portage that i emerged just now: emerge -av world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: [blocks B ] kde-base/kde-env (is blocking kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.5-r5) [blocks B ] =kde-base/kdegraphics-3.5* (is blocking kde-base/kdegraphics-kfile-plugins-3.5.5) [blocks B ] =kde-base/kdegraphics-3.5* (is blocking kde-base/kgamma-3.5.5) and so on; it states that kdegraphics blocks all the individual components therein. Looking at kdelibs alone, it says that kde-env blocks it... but it also says i already have kdelibs and this would be an upgrade... root@randomaccess ~ # emerge -av kdelibs These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Things seem rather tangled.
see bug #154999
"Otherwise, the blocker is intended and you *must* unmerge kde-env;" Roger that; doing so now, and i will see if the various components of kde still beat each other up as in the original issue.
I still get the "kdegraphics blocks <list of components>" and it wants to pull those components in to new slots. I think i'll unmerge the monolith and let it and see what happens; this issue and its tangents seem to be solved so i'm going to mark the cause of this as a dup of bug #154999. Feel free to change the resolution if that's incorrect, of course. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 154999 ***
