The other day, I got crazy inspiration, and decided to do an "emerge --deep world" to bring everything up to current. I didn't see anything in there about downgrading KDE from 3.1 to 3.0, but when it was done, and I launched KDE, it loaded 3.0.

When I ran "qpkg -i -I kdebase" it shows both 3.0.5 and 3.1-r1 installed. I managed to get 3.1 loading again by renaming the "3" directory in /usr/kde to "old", but 3.1 seems slower. I remember when upgrading to 3.1 it said that I would have to remove 3.0 afterwards, but I had done an "emerge -u" and when it was done, 3.1 was loading, so I didn't worry about it.

Now I want to remove 3.0.5, but when I try to emerge --clean that specific ebuild, it tells me that it isn't installed.

Any ideas what I've done wrong? Should I unmerge and re-emerge the whole of kde?

I was unable to unmerge KDE 3.0.5 as well, so I unmerged the old ebuilds by hand, using

Code:
cd /usr/portage/kde-base
for i in `find . -name \*3.0.5` ; do echo emerge $i unmerge ; done


If it shows the correct 3.0.5 packages, remove the echo command to do the actual unmerge.

I think KDE 3.1 and KDE 3.0.5 is in a different slot, so upgrading one won't remove the other.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
