I have now discovered that my problem was that I still had some monolithic kde packages hanging around alongside the metapackages (e.g. kdeedu instead of kdeedu-meta). I think I'd been unmerging them one at a time and didn't get around to finishing the job. Now that I have done so emerge -u world seems to be catching the kde updates the way it should. -- Robert Persson "Don't use nuclear weapons to troubleshoot faults."
