[gentoo-user] Upgrading KDE

[gentoo-user] Upgrading KDE

[Daniel D Jones]

Currently running KDE 3.3.  I get the following:

root@Merlin:/# emerge --pretend kde-meta

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

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.4* (is blocking 
kde-base/kscreensaver-3.4.1)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.4* (is blocking kde-base/khotkeys-3.4.1)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.4* (is blocking kde-base/kdesu-3.4.1)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.4* (is blocking 
kde-base/kdebase-data-3.4.1)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.4* (is blocking kde-base/kcminit-3.4.1)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.4* (is blocking 
kde-base/khelpcenter-3.4.1-r1)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.4* (is blocking 
kde-base/kcontrol-3.4.1-r1)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.4* (is blocking kde-base/kdm-3.4.1)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.4* (is blocking 
kde-base/kdebugdialog-3.4.1)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.4* (is blocking kde-base/libkonq-3.4.1)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.4* (is blocking kde-base/kicker-3.4.1)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.4* (is blocking kde-base/kappfinder-3.4.1)
[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.4* (is blocking 
kde-base/ksysguard-3.4.1-r1)
....


And lots more, of course.  Do I really have to uninstall 3.3 to  install 3.4?

It's saying that you need to unmerge =kde-base/kdebase-3.4* because that package is split into the other ones you see there.  You can fool portage into thinking it's not installed with "mv /var/db/pkg/kde-base/kdebase-3.4* /tmp" but do so at your own risk.

You currently have KDE installed with the monolithic ebuilds. to stay
with them, use "emerge -av kde" instead of kde-meta (there's not a lot of
point in using the split ebuilds if you're going to install everything
anyway). Alternatively, you'll have to unmerge that various kdebase, and
probably some of the other monolithic ebuilds, before merging kde-meta.
Don't unmerge kdelibs or arts, they are the same whichever set of ebuilds
you use.

What's the best way to find out what all the "split ebuilds" are?

The kde-meta ebuild should cover all of the split ebuilds.  If you read that you will discover that it depends on other meta packages.  Read the ebuilds of those meta packages to find out what they depend on, and so on.

$ equery which kde-meta
/usr/portage/kde-base/kde-meta/kde-meta-3.4.2.ebuild

Unfortunately, equery depgraph does not seem to be very helpful for this type of query.

emerge -pv kde-meta. Or just look through /usr/portage/kde-base.

Do:
# equery depends kdebase
Then:
# emerge unmerge <package_name>
to all kde-related packages.. 
You should then be able to upgrade KDE.

Hope that helps,
Fernando.
