[gentoo-user] mysterious blocking

[David Corbin]

When i try to upgrade 'stuff', (emerge -uavD world).  Emerge shows that 
kdenetwork is blocking some stuff.


... done!
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kdenetwork-3.5* (is blocking kde-base/krdc-3.5.2)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kdenetwork-3.5* (is blocking kde-base/lisa-3.5.2)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kdenetwork-3.5* (is blocking 
kde-base/kwifimanager-3.5.2)

But, when I attempt to unmerge "kdenetwork", it fails saying it can't find the 
package.  emerge -s confirms that I do not have this package installed.

Ideas?

Can you give us the complete output of 'emerge -pvDu world', please?
My bets are that something depends on kdenetwork and wants to pull
it in while you have some of the split ebuilds from kdenetwork
installed which causes the blockage.

You can't have both the split ebuilds (krdc, ...) and the monolithic ebuilds
(kdenetwork) installed at the same time.
