Upgrading KDE - Wants to slot new KDE? [solved]

I'm upgrading an unmaintained gentoo box. Original install was 2006. Probably would have been easier to reinstall from scratch, but oh well. So no suggestions regarding that please. :wink:

Anyway, I'm looking thru the emerge world output and KDE wants to be installed slotted [NS], even with "emerge world -epv". What's the reasoning behind that?

I'd rather just upgrade and have the old KDE removed. Is this possible?

Let it install in the new slot, and then run emerge --ask --depclean afterwards. Depclean has recently been updated to clean out unneeded slots.

That's what I figured, just thought I'd check first. Just seems wierd though. Why would you need sloted KDE? Gnome upgrades with no slots.

Thanks.
