and what if you do:

emerge -p kde

it should be in the emerge -up world

did you do an emerge sync before you tried to update world?

Boy! I've just done emerge sync and looks like something's broken: Here's the error message:

Can't even do a simple emerge. How do I fix things?

I had lots of problems syncing yesterday with the north american servers and switched to the south american set and all was well after that point.

Could someone kindly let me know how to sync from a specific set of servers apart fom the ones selected by mirrorselect?

mirrorselect -i lets you choose the server

i've managed to upgrade kde 3.1 to 3.2 but i've still got 3.1 in my system. i'd like to save the space and what's the point in having both versions installed? I used emerge -up kde.

How can I remove 3.1 completely?
