Trying to update from kde4.5 to kde4.6
A simple "emerge -uD world" gives:

All together 982 lines as above.
Besides that, gentoo amd64 works fine on my box and I emerge everyday packa=
ges to upgrade, except those which are kde's.
Questions:
- what the hell is this mess, did I do something wrong ?
- have any of you got the same kind of troubles ?
- is there a way to go back to an up to date clean install, I mean besides =
reinstalling from scratch or going for Ubuntu ?
Reasons that make me go for gentoo 8 or 9 years ago:
- excellent docs. (as of to-day, some docs need updating);
- easyness of maintenance, no need for periodical reinstall (I'm not sure t=
his time);
- stable packages are renewed in time, not too soon, not too late;
- portage works like a charm.
Hope I can get some help

king. Thanks fot the help, folks,
