Code: Select all

localhost mike # emerge -p =kde-base/kde-meta-4.1.2

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

So my question is, how do i emerge kde-meta-4.1.3. I currently have 4.0.5 installed from entropy. I followed the 'how to' linked on this page viewtopic.php?f=53&t=14954 replacing kde-meta-4.1.2 with kde-meta4.1.3

[wolfden]

you need to clean up and get rid of the other kde stuff first

it also looks like you need to sync as 4.1.3 is in portage and should auto pull

[mpdefeo]

Thank you for the reply wolfden. I am freshly synced and kde-4.1.3 did auto pull. This is a problem that I had previously when trying to emerge kde-4.1.2 which I gave up on, and that I currently have trying to emerge kde-4.1.3 which I am not quite ready to give up on. What do you mean that I have to clean up other KDE stuff. Right now all I have is KDE-3.5.9 and KDE-4.0.5.

[wolfden]

clean up = remove

you will want to for sure remove 4.0.5

Your post is confusing as your bring up stuff from the past with 4.1.2 that apparently has no bearing on this?? So your current issue is 4.1.3 wont install?

Did you read the link that the error gave you?
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/h ... =1#blocked

You are mixing package managers? You know this isn't recommended?

[chsims1]

More information about sorting those blocked packages (for your 'emerge kate') is given on the Gentoo forums.

[mpdefeo]

Thank you for your advice. Just to clarify here is a rundown of what I have done, and what I am trying to do.

*I installed Sabayon from a live DVD
*I equo isntalled kde-4.0.5
*I tried to update to kde-4.1.2 by running

Code: Select all

emerge kde-meta

Which gave me errors about kate-4.1.2:4.1. I decided that I would wait untill kde-4.1.2 went into entropy. I then changed my mind a few months later and tried to install kde-4.1.3 through portage, however

Code: Select all

emerge kde-meta

still gave me the same errors...so here I am.

Now when you say I need to remove packages, do you mean i should

Code: Select all

equo remove kde-meta4.0.5

Will this take care of my dependency problem as well as the problem with kate? Should I also equo remove all packages I installed while using kde-meta-4.0.5, if so what about packages that were emerged under kde-meta-4.0.5?

No when you say I should not mix package managers, do you mean that I should use exclusivly portage, or entropy, but not both?

I apologize for not being clear, and I appreciate your advice.
