Hi
I am having problems with my kde4 installation and feel the need to
deinstall and start again.
In view of the number of ports and dependencies can someone please let
me know the cleanest way of doing this. It would probably be safer to
assume an upwards and downwards recursive build.
Thanks in advance

I just used:

# pourtmaster --force-config x11/kde4 to rebuild my KDE4 from scratch.

You can also pass the -f switch to rebuild in place, although I prefer blowing away and starting fresh.

Hi

Thanks very much.

I eventually solved the problems by the following a rather labourious sequence. with a significant number of manual interventions in the process of upgrading python ports. I now suspect the problems were primarily due to some conflicts in the python ports.
Here is what worked:
# portupgrade -f   *py*
# portupgrade -fr *kde*
# portupgrade -fr *xorg*
