[gentoo-user] media-libs/alsa-lib[midi] block

[James <wireless@tampabay.rr.com>]

Hello,

I've tried everything I can to resolve this kde-4.2.x upgrade
problem. I've used sets so far to install kde 4 
(kdelibs 3.5.10-r6 and 4.2.2-r1) named as
/etc/portage/sets/james-kde-4.2

But now when I try to upgrade, it fails.
(emerge -uDNvp @james-kde-4.2)


emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy
"media-libs/alsa-lib[midi]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.20-r1 (Missing IUSE: midi)
- media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.19 (Missing IUSE: midi)
- media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.17a (Missing IUSE: midi)
(dependency required by "kde-base/kdelibs-4.2.2-r1" [installed])
(dependency required by "@james-kde-4.2" [argument])

For example I tried to fix by adding this line to package.use:
media-libs/alsa-lib             midi


Ideas, including moving from my chicken-scratch kde 4 install
to kde 4.3 via something cleaner, are welcome. Maybe it's alsa in the 
kernel (2.6.30-gentoo-r4) where my problem lies?
