Okay, I see your point. I don't make a habit of unmasking packages. However, as stated in my previous message, I can't get past the kde ~x86 updates to update other packages that might have valid stable updates. I don't care if kde updates to an unstable version, I would just like to get past it so I can see what else needs to be updated.
