I thought someone would say that. The -t, I mean. Of course I did try it, but I already knew it wouldn't help because portage can't complete the dependency calculation. > From your fist statement (required by >=kde-base/kdepimlibs-4.14:4) I > guess that you keyworded something that depends on kdepimlibs or > kdepimlibs itself in the past. $ cat /etc/portage/package.keywords sci-misc/boinc ~sci-calculators/qalculate-units-0.9.4 sys-apps/portage [...] > As a final straw (or first option - depending on you preferences) you > could resync the tree: maybe you've gotten an incomplete version/revbump > that already is resolved in later versions of the tree. That did it - thanks. I see we have a new version of KDE today, and the changes to the tree had only been partly completed. I should have thought of that myself. Now to shut KDE down and upgrade it... -- Rgds Peter. PS. Am I right in thinking that two verb constructs in everyday English are absent from German?
