Well i'm trying to install kdm... but i have a slight problem, kde is already installed
| Code: | emerge --pretend kdm
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.4* (is blocking kde-base/kdebase-data-3.4.3)
[blocks B ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.4* (is blocking kde-base/kdesu-3.4.1)
[blocks B ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.4* (is blocking kde-base/khotkeys-3.4.3)
[blocks B ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.4* (is blocking kde-base/kcminit-3.4.1)
[blocks B ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.4* (is blocking kde-base/khelpcenter-3.4.3)
[blocks B ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.4* (is blocking kde-base/kcontrol-3.4.3)
[blocks B ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.4* (is blocking kde-base/kdm-3.4.3-r1)
[ebuild N ] kde-base/kdebase-data-3.4.3
[ebuild N ] kde-base/kdesu-3.4.1
[ebuild N ] kde-base/khotkeys-3.4.3
[ebuild N ] kde-base/kcminit-3.4.1
[ebuild N ] kde-base/khelpcenter-3.4.3
[ebuild N ] kde-base/kcontrol-3.4.3
[ebuild N ] kde-base/kdm-3.4.3-r1

the thing is, i went through my kde, and the same versions it wants to install are the versions i have installed already, except for the kdm.... my question is this, is there a way to overide its dependency check in these situations, or do i just need to unmerge kde and reinstall?
-- edit --
nm, i feel so stupid, i actually knew the answer to this, my brain just farted out from thinking about it too hard, i just unmerged kde-base, then emerged kdm and all was well... oh well, leaving this up for anyone else who looks for an answer to this question |

Isn't kdm installed already when the package "kdebase" is installed? I thought kdebase is just a wrapper, and when it's installed, all those things already included are then of course blocked.

| I think you having a problem switching between the monolithic ebuilds and the new split ones. You might just be able to unmerge the blockers, then remerge the desired parts of kde. |

Previous posters are right, you're attempting to install the split-ebuild version of kdm, which is included as part of the monolitic ebuild kdebase. Theres a migration (from monolithic to split) up here though it might be a bit out of date.
I would like to note however, that I've found split ebuilds to be much better over the long term then the monolithics. While its true that doing a mass migration (that is, say an entire install of KDE) might take a bit longer with the split ebuilds; when it comes to bug-fixes and the likes later on, you've only got a handful of programs to update, opposed to a huge honking chunk of KDE.
