hi,
i had some problems with KDE, tried to fix them and made it even worse :/
However now, i want to remove every trace of KDE and every version i've collected and not yet unmerged (3.3, 3.4, parts of 3.5_beta1) and try KDE 3.5_beta2
i've done this
| Quote: |
emerge unmerge kde*/*

run
followed by
make sure that there are NO packges in list that you still need..- if there are any, add them to
| Code: |
/var/lib/portage/world
|
then run
and
| Code: |
rm -R /home/youruser/.kde*
|
that should do it..

I was told NOT to run -depclean when removing KDE. If I understand correctly it isn't working the way it should for KDE yet. (Please feel free to correct me if I misunderstood that) I just recently moved from the monolithic e-builds to the split ebuilds and, as such, had my own issues removing KDE. If you're removing a monolithic set try running:
| Code: | | emerge -C kdeaddons kdeaccessibility kdepim kdesdk kdenetwork kdeartwork kdetoys kdeutils kdewebdev kdeadmin kdebase kdeedu kdemultimedia kdegraphics kdegames |
Add to that list the keyword you used to initially install KDE (so for me I just ran 'emerge kde' so I added kde to the end of that list. Pretend first ( just in case  ) but doing this made everything nice and clean. If emerge gives you an error saying that it can't find one of those packages, then just ignore it since it isn't on your system anyway.
I imagine that removing the split e-build version of kde would be even simpler, since you should know what you've installed already. |

dunno about kde in specific.. I don't use it, but I'd guess that is there is no package asking for all the kde stuff in world anymore (which is when you unmerge it) the remainig packages should be removed by depclean..- if not you'd see it by running
if there are no kde packages listed, they won't be uninstalled. Anyway I think that's not been the problem that causes the warnings when trying to reinstall kde.. deleting
| Code: |
/var/db/pkg/kde-base/*
|
should di that I guess |

However, it is too late now 
The only mistake i see right now is do delete /var/db/pkg/kde-base/* while emerging kde 3.5_beta2
Did not thought of the consequences and now i can emerge kde again :/
