Thanks for letting me know this.  I think Seamonkey 2 is far from 
ready.  The web browser works but the email part stinks.  Sort of 
thinking about Thunderbird at the moment.  Maybe I can actually SEND a 
freaking message with it.  ;-)

This should be plain text.  It is supposed to send plain text only to 
both Gentoo and KDE.  I see that doesn't work either huh.

Now to go type all this mess in again.  I'll resend in a bit.

Thanks again for letting me know I was "speechless".   lol

I synced last night and did a update.  After that I was informed that 
there was some preserved libs that needed to be rebuilt.  So I attempt 
to do this and this is what I get:

root@smoker / # emerge @preserved-rebuild -a

  * IMPORTANT: 1 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
  * Use eselect news to read news items.


These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "sci-calculators/kconvert:0".


  * IMPORTANT: 1 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
  * Use eselect news to read news items.

root@smoker / # eix kconvert
No matches found.
root@smoker / # layman -l
* kde-sunset                [Git       ] 
(git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/kde-sunset.git                                
)
root@smoker / #

So, it wants to rebuild Kconvert but there is no such thing in portage.  
I have the kde-sunset layman up to date as well.  Also, I do use 
Kconvert so I don't want to get rid of it either.

Is there a way to fix this?  Oh, the news item is not related.  I read 
it but plan to go back to it one day when I have more time to mess with it.

Thanks.

Dale

P. S.  Is this being sent plain text?  Me and Seaonkey 2 are having a 
bit of a discussion here.

According to the headers in your message, yes:

Content-Type: text/plain;

I'm afraid I can't help with kconvert other than confirm that it does not seem 
to be in portage anymore.  I do not use any overlays to be able to offer help 
here.

I have a sneaky suspicion that I will have to unmerge the thing.  I do 
wish KDE 4 would get to working for me so I could switch.

At least it was in plain text.  It's funny that Seamonkey can reply just 
fine but the initial message goes out blank. < sigh >

You can do what I do when I want to keep a package that’s been removed from 
portage: copy the overlay from /var/db/pkg/¹ to your local overlay 
at /usr/local/prtage.

¹ Basically, that’s where portage keeps copies of all installed ebuilds.

I may end up doing that. I thought the KDE 3 stuff was supposed to move 
over to kde-sunset. Did they just miss this one package maybe?

I may just do a quickpkg of the thing, unmerge it, let it do the other 
updates and then put it back. ;-)

Actually, I just like to move from something stable to something new but 
stable.  I don't like going from something stable to something that 
doesn't work or do at least as much as the old version does.  KDE and 
Seamonkey fall into that hole at the moment.  Seamonkey 1 doesn't access 
my banks website anymore since it is not being updated.  Seamonkey 2 has 
problems with emails.  If you want some proof of that, look at the very 
top.  Unless your name is 
chrome://messenger/locale/messengercompose/composeMsgs.properties then 
it ain't working right.  Seamonkey 1 quotes correctly tho.

So, Seamonkey 1 isn't usable and Seamonkey 2 has a few bugs up its but 
too.  KDE is about the same.  Now hal is another story.  It just plain 
didn't work here.  There was no stable or anything close to it.  It just 
plain fell flat on its face.

Perhaps KDE itself is for you, but I've been using kmail for years 
without any real problems. Well, earlier versions would sometimes 
corrupt their indices, but that was easily fixed. Recommended.

I used Kmail at first but just didn't like it very much.  It's been a 
while so I can't recall exactly what it was.  I also like having one 
program handling my web browsing and email.  I have considered switching 
to Thunderbird and Firefox tho.

Well Opera offers that functionality, you have your email in a side bar :-)
Although it's very much in denial about digitally signing/encrypting mails, but as long as that's not an issue, it's very good at what it does.
