I currently have a blocking conflict when doing a world update: plasma-meta depends on plasma-workspace-wallpapers while kile depends on kdebase-data which on its turn depends on kde-wallpapers but bug 582778 introduced a block between the two. Is it possible to make both plasma-meta and kdebase-data depend on the one or the other?
PS: kile has been and is otherwise working perfectly
Add USE=minimal for kde-wallpapers and you're set.
The minimal use-flag is (was) already set, it doesn't help, I also fail to see how it could help from looking at the ebuilds. However while doing that I looked at kdebase-data ebuild and saw that it has a wallpapers use-flag. I disabled that and now I can update world again. Perhaps disable this use-flag for kdebase-data in the plasma profile?
It is a bit hard to provide help when you do not give relevant information (i.e., the actual portage output you are talking about). *If* USE=minimal was already enabled for kde-wallpapers, then you got a block because you attempted to upgrade to kde-plasma/plasma-workspace-wallpapers-5.6.x, which blocks all versions *below* kde-wallpapers-15.08.3-r2 entirely, so again, you're set.
I'm sorry, here is the output from the actual emerge command if I don't disable the wallpapers USE-flag: # emerge -uDaN world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] kde-apps/kde-wallpapers-15.08.3 USE="minimal (-aqua)" [ebuild R ] kde-apps/kdebase-data-15.12.3 USE="wallpapers*" [blocks B ] <kde-apps/kde-wallpapers-15.08.3-r2 ("<kde-apps/kde-wallpapers-15.08.3-r2" is blocking kde-plasma/plasma-workspace-wallpapers-5.6.5) * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be * installed at the same time on the same system.

I just thought it might be interesting to apply this to the plasma profile.
As I said, kde-plasma/plasma-workspace-wallpapers-5.6.x blocks all versions *below* kde-wallpapers-15.08.3-r2. Consequently, all you need to do is keyword this latest version of kde-wallpapers, just as you did with Plasma 5.6.5. No need for a change in plasma profile.
