KDELIBS 3.1.4 Blocks QT 3.2.1 BLOCKS KDELIBS 3.1.4

[jzleidigh]

I have kdelibs 3.1.4 installed and when I try to do an emerge -u world I get kde libs blocking QT. Emerging QT is the same. I read

https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=85391&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=25

And the only suggestion that will work for me is to unmerge kdelibs and then emerge QT then KDE. I just wanted to make sure there was no other option before I undertake such a task, especially as it feels a little risky. Any other suggestins?

Thanks!!

No, you can update Qt without updating KDE. You just need to physically remove the dependency line in the kdelibs ebuild.

Version of KDE < 3.1.4 don't work with Qt 3.2, so it's necessary to have this block in place.

Some people have unmerged KDE before installing Qt 3.2, then reinstalled KDE, but that shouldn't be necessary.

I get this even though I have KDE 3.1.4 installed. The problem is that I have KDE libs 2 installed as well for some unknown program (any easy way to find this out?).

I already tried it the destructive way: unmerge it and see what breaks. Nothing, it seems. Oh well.
