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

[James]

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?

Did you then re-emerge alsa-lib after that change?  I believe that's
what it wants you to do before trying to update kde.

Yep. But that does not fix the general upgrade problem.


After successfully emerging 
alsa-lib-1.0.20-r1 upgrade attempts still are met by:


emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy
"media-libs/alsa-lib[midi]"

Maybe I should try the kernel approach to Alsa?

The correct answer is "I don't know".  I use gnome, not kde, as my
desktop, but I do like the k3b disc-burner app, so I have the minimal
kde and qt libs to support k3b.

I recently ran into upgrade problems with my minimal qt/kde system
that I fixed simply by deleting every package depending on either qt
or kde, and all problems were magically fixed.  (Don't ask me why.)

Pain in the butt, but maybe worth the pain.

The midi use flag is gone.

Got that. Read the links, 
still not sure how to fix my problem.

That's not enough, you also must emerge alsa-lib first (emerge -uN alsa-lib). 
Then kde4 won't complain about that.

PS.: many say 4.3 is definitely faster than 4.2, why not try this? It's no 
more of an effort to install than 4.2.

I have emerge alsa-lib several times, with and without the deprecated midi
flag. I always get:

emerge -uN alsa-lib

Calculating dependencies... done!

Hmmm,

I'd think it would just do this and prompt me to install 4.3.

I have a hack-trash-mess from installing 4.2. Now it will not upgrade
and I do not know (need a guide or advice) how to get from
4.2.x to kde-4.3?

Documents or suggestions or pointers to a previous thread on how to do 
this are most welcome....
