Whooooop! But it is looking like a non-trivial upgrade. :( When I installed kde-4.2, I followed the advice of unmasking portage and using sets. Also followed the recommendation to use -kdeprefix. Further I removed kde-3.5 and added a mask on kdelibs-3.5 to help keep 3.5 off of the system. So for the kde-4.3 upgrade, it looks like this is what will be necessary: 1) grab the sets again from the kde-testing overlay and put them in / etc/portage/sets (assumption is to do a replace). 2) unmerge kde-4.2 using: emerge --unmerge @kde-4.2 3) merge kde-4.3 using: emerge -av @kde-4.3 4) recustomize kde as the ~/.kde will not be migrated Am I on the right track? TIA, Roy
