How to Completely Remove KDE 3.3.2? (Solved)

Hi,

I have installed kde-meta for 3.4 and I was wondering, since a lot of kde-meta packages are blocking the regular kde packages, how do I completely and cleanly remove any older versions of KDE without removing kde-meta?

bump.

I found some topics on this, but none of it worked.

emerge --depclean -p lists a bunch of 3.4 packages

.

I don't want to do it manually, as I want to make sure that nothing from KDE 3.3 is left.

Thanks for your reply.

Ah, my second topic that I fixed on my own today

.

I tried yours and it tried to remove 2 KDE 3.4 packages. I found this other post and the guy said to get rid of KDE 3.4, do this:

emerge -Ca `ls -d /var/db/pkg/kde-base/*-3.4* | sed -e "s/\/var\/db\/pkg\///g"`

so, I changed it to:

emerge -Ca `ls -d /var/db/pkg/kde-base/*-3.3* | sed -e "s/\/var\/db\/pkg\///g"`

and it worked perfectly.

Sorry for the trouble.
