KDE 3.2 or 3.3 shouldn't interfere with KDE 3.4, which makes me wonder why and older version is blocking things. emerge kde-meta and see what kind of trouble it gives you. ------=_Part_16728_24391929.1128567525677 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline

KDE should separate its releases by minor version. K= DE 3.2 or 3.3 shouldn't interfere with KDE 3.4, which makes me wonder why a= nd older version is blocking things. emerge kde-meta and see what kind of t= rouble it gives you.
