[gentoo-user] Issues with Dependencies

[Lord Sauron]

Hi, I'm having a bit more trouble.

I'm trying to re-compile KDE so that maybe some functionality which
didn't compile right the first time will work.  However, it says I've
got some broken dependencies.

localhost ~ # emerge --pretend kde

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kbounce-3.4* (is blocking kde-base/kdegames-3.4.3)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/libkdegames-3.4* (is blocking kde-base/kdegames-3.4.3)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kdemultimedia-kioslaves-3.4* (is blocking
kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.4.3)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kdemultimedia-arts-3.4* (is blocking
kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.4.3)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/libkcddb-3.4* (is blocking
kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.4.3)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/klaptopdaemon-3.4* (is blocking
kde-base/kdeutils-3.4.3-r1)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kommander-3.4* (is blocking
kde-base/kdewebdev-3.4.3-r1)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kxsldbg-3.4* (is blocking kde-base/kdewebdev-3.4.3-r1)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kfilereplace-3.4* (is blocking
kde-base/kdewebdev-3.4.3-r1)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/klinkstatus-3.4* (is blocking
kde-base/kdewebdev-3.4.3-r1)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kimagemapeditor-3.4* (is blocking
kde-base/kdewebdev-3.4.3-r1)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/quanta-3.4* (is blocking kde-base/kdewebdev-3.4.3-r1)

[snipped the stuff that wasn't broken]

I don't know what to do.  I don't want to loose Quanta+ or
KLaptopDaemon, and I frankly didn't know Kommander was there...

Please help a old Debian person who isn't used to doing this stuff by
himself...  Oh, I already tried emerge --depclean, but that didn't fix
all the problems apparently.  In the mean time I'll try remerging
KLaptopDaemon, but I would like to resolve these issues to both learn
how and to make life easier in the future.

Thanks for your help!

It looks like you installed KDE originally using the split ebuilds - 
i.e. kde-meta instead of kde. Try

emerge --pretend kde-meta

and see if that doesn't give blocking messages. I expect it won't.

You are trying to install the monolithic packages while what you have 
installed are the split packages. I would recommend that you stick with the 
split packages and emerge kde-meta instead of kde. That way you will have the 
option to uninstall packages that you don't use later on without having to 
remerge anything.

No.  Still doesn't like me.  I never know about the meta packages, so
I could be on Gnome for a little while until I get this sorted out,
huh?

Seems you have a mixture of monolithic and split. Like I said before I 
recommend the split packages. To get those you have to unmerge the monolithic 
packages. So:

# emerge --unmerge --ask --verbose kdebase kdegraphics
# emerge --ask --verbose kde-meta

It is all explained at 
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=1#doc_chap4

And please learn to cut out anything you don't reply to and reply below that 
which you do reply to.

I was a little rash and unmerged everything with the string "kde" in
it.  When in doubt, restart.

Srry...  I'm a little bit scatterbrained at times.
