It applies to the whole emerge process, so even if KDE would be happy with the installed version of the dependencies, you have told emerge to upgrade them. That's why the correct approach is to add the various KDE packages to /etc/portage/package.keywords. > I'm about at the point where I'll let portage downgrade everything it > wants to, but I'm afraid that it might break something else. That's unlikely, if so, emerge would complain about a dependency of KDE being unavailable. The worst that can happen is that part of KDE could stop working, possibly preventing you loading the desktop. In which case, emerge -uav world will tell you which package is needed but unavailable because of masking, so you can add it to /etc/portage/package.keywords. -- Neil Bothwick Guns don't kill people--it's those little pieces of lead.
