The point of meta packages is that they install a whole set of stuff, in this case " Merge this to pull in all Plasma 5 packages". If you don't want the kitchen sink, don't use meta packages. I have a kde set in /etc/portage/sets that includes just what I want. As a result I have a decent KDE desktop but without needing networkmanager, or any of the PIM stuff. --=20 Neil Bothwick Okay, I pulled the pin. Now what?
