Problem with emerge kdm.

Hello, I will keep it simple.
I can't emerge kde-base/kdm-3.4 because it is blocked by kde-base/kdebase-3.4.
How can this be possible? How can I fix it?

looks like your trying to mix split ebuilds with monolithic ones, try reading this, should explain things a bit for you

Sorry but I did not understood much of that. I have never before heard of monolithic ebuilds
and splited ebuilds before. Then I emerge KDE I just typed: emerge kde

If you typed 'emerge kde', you will already have kdm on your computer as it is part of the the kdebase package (which is a dependency of the whole kde package).

This issue has already been discussed in the topic "Blockers in KDE 3.4.1", where it was summarized by Headrush; and it is also covered in The KDE Configuration HOWTO.
