You need to add stuff to package.unmask. AFAIR the overlay contains a file that you can copy/symlink there. The messages should go away in due course anyway, once KDE3 is actually removed from portage rather than being there but masked. > I know this, KDE has left a really bad taste in my mouth with how they=20 > handled this release.

I used to think that, but soon realised it does work, just slightly differently. There are still some really annoying "features" though. But if the Gentoo KDE team don't want to support it, that's there choice. If you don't like it, you can always ask for your money back ;-) --=20 Neil Bothwick "This project is so important, we can't let things that are more important interfere with it." --Sig_/6UsQnnsJWYlqTzoaq./d2YM Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.13 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkssJY8ACgkQum4al0N1GQMiOwCeP4l5ZAIJeQ784d1STODT0K3Y 3gUAoMj52Skhqpw4jmnV9rIW1/327kOh =OtuK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/6UsQnnsJWYlqTzoaq./d2YM--
