Greetings, when I rum emerge -Dvup world to update my files it says the following (everything is blocked)

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[blocks B ] =kde-base/khelpcenter-3.4* (is blocking kde-base/kdebase-3.4.1-r1)
[blocks B ] =kde-base/khotkeys-3.4* (is blocking kde-base/kdebase-3.4.1-r1)

You'll need to unmerge the blocking packages first to be able to install the new ones!

It may also be a dependency package. Check the deps of packages thru equery...

Yup. Often you simply need to remove a package or two before you can upgrade--moving from Gnome 2.8 to 2.10 required removing a couple of packages before the emerge could proceed. Also, if you're running ~ unstable or a mix of stable and unstable, that can cause many problems.

If simply unmerging the listed packages doesn't work, then try waiting a day or two and re-sync, on the offchance that the needed packages haven't hit all the mirrors yet, or if the KDE herd accidentally put out a bad ebuild or two.

I hope you're not being faced with KDE split ebuilds! I hope, because if you are, it won't take much longer for me to face it too! :wink:

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Duplicate Threads in favour of Blockers in KDE 3.4.1
