Hello, On a fresh Gentoo 1.4rc4 system with the latest updates (May 2nd), kdbg installs in /usr instead of /usr/kde/3.1 when using emerge kdbg. I think this is a mistake considering that all kde related stuff are either under /usr/qt or under /usr/kde Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge kdbg 2. which kdbg Actual Results: /usr/bin/kdbg Expected Results: /usr/kde/3.1/bin
Only kde-base stuff is installed in kde directory, other apps are in /usr, this allow multiple version of kde on the same system, all able to use the same programs

Hello, I like very much the idea of creating a /usr/kde and a /usr/qt directory. I think that to put everything under /usr is simply a poor idea. You end up with thousand of entries in /usr/bin and there is no way to grasp what it really contains and where it really comes from. So, I think to put kde apps under /usr somehow cancel the elegance and the flexibility given by /usr/kde/3.x. I am not a big specialist of the inner working of KDE (API)... But I have the feeling that some applications work for 2.x and not for 3.x (API changes). A good example is Kdevelop for instance. It is clear that Kdevelop-2.1-5-for KDE-3.1 is made for KDE 3.1 and not for any other KDE... Quanta 3.1.1 is IMHO made for KDE 3.1 So, why not create /usr/kde/{bin,lib...} directories for KDE apps that are unsensitive to the version of KDE using them and check carefully the others to see where they really belong to?
