hi all,
My apologies for the previous mail. It happened by mistake.
I am using gentoo linux and was using kde 3.3 till now. i succefully emerged kde 3.4 but as it was masked i did it with
<code>
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -av kde-base/kde-meta
<code>
I'm not sure if this is the right spot to ask, because the question really is very Gentoo-specific, and not KDE-specific.
But I'll try to give you a little advice.
The use of environment variables like ACCEPT_KEYWORDS is deprecated and discouraged. That's what the files in /etc/portage are for.
In the case of KDE 3.4, add the following to the file /etc/portage/package.keywords:
# ## KDE 3.4 # dev-libs/boost ~x86 sys-libs/db ~x86 kde-base/kdebase-pam ~x86 kde-base/arts ~x86 kde-base/kde ~x86 kde-base/kdelibs ~x86 kde-base/kdebase ~x86 kde-base/kdeaddons ~x86 kde-base/kdeadmin ~x86 kde-base/kdeartwork ~x86 kde-base/kdeedu ~x86 kde-base/kdegames ~x86 kde-base/kdegraphics ~x86 kde-base/kdemultimedia ~x86 kde-base/kdenetwork ~x86 kde-base/kdepim ~x86 kde-base/kdetoys ~x86 kde-base/kdeutils ~x86 kde-base/kdewebdev ~x86 kde-base/kdeaccessibility ~x86 kde-base/kdebindings-meta ~x86 kde-base/kdesdk ~x86 kde-base/kdejava ~x86 kde-base/kwin ~x86 kde-base/qtjava ~x86 kde-base/kcontrol ~x86
Then do a emerge --sync, and then a emerge -a kde
That should do the trick.
And:

You can (and should) just type "emerge -aC =kde-3.3" in that case. Merging and unmerging by directory/direct path to packages *can* work, but more often than not, it does something unpredictable.
