Hi,

since kde-4.2 seems be to unblocked now, I'd like to try it.
But there are 408 (!) blocked packages.

emerge --unmerge kde-meta
didn't do anything.

So, what's a feasible way to upgrade?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

Use automunmask, as already mentioned at least once this week.

You need an "emerge -a --depclean" after unmerging all -meta packages.
But usually this won't work either since most people have normal KDE
packages in their world file too.


The way I did it was to use the qlist tool from the gentoo-utils
package. First I got a list of KDE packages:


qlist -Iv | grep -- kde

This will return a lot of packages. I then copy&pasted all relevant KDE
4.1 packages into an "emerge -C" command. Then at the end I did the
"emerge -a --depclean" and removed any left overs.
