The newest version of KID3 does not built on a KDE 3.5 system because KDE4 dependencies are pulled in by 'inherit kde4-base'. Changing this to 'inherit kde' makes it build perfectly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run a stable system with kde 3.5 2. build kid3 from unstable/~x86 3. Actual Results: The upgrade fails with an kdelibs dependency conflict. Expected Results: Software should build
We will support only kde4 in newest kid versions. We had discussion about it and sorry, this is the reality.
Workaround for KDE3 by using a customized, local ebuild: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=280790#c7
