I did search the archives and did not find anything relevant. I saw and read a thread where a block was occurring: <=kde-base/kdebase-startkde-3.5.10" is blocking kde-base/kdelibs-4.2.0 It wasn't clear to me that this was the same problem, since that block referenced a 3.5.10 package and mine referenced a 3.5.9 package. However, upgrading to 3.5.10 raises another issue. For 3.5, I didn't install the meta package, I installed the KDE base package: ROOT / # eix -e kde [I] kde-base/kde Available versions: (3.5) 3.5.9 {accessibility} Installed versions: 3.5.9(3.5)(02:18:39 05/27/08)(-accessibility) Homepage: http://www.kde.org/ Description: KDE - merge this to pull in all non-developer kde-base/* packages ROOT / # eix kde-meta * kde-base/kde-meta Available versions: (3.5) 3.5.9 ~3.5.10 (4.1) (~)4.1.4 (4.2) (~)4.2.0 {accessibility nls} Homepage: http://www.kde.org/ Description: KDE - merge this to pull in all non-developer, split kde-base/* packages 3.5.10 is available under the meta package system but not under the KDE package. Do I have to switch to the meta package to go to 3.5.10? (Without, that is, manually unblocking lots and lots of packages.) Can I simply install the meta package over the base package or will that create blocks or other issues?
