force emerge without checking dependencies?

toojays

Is it possible to tell emerge to install something without checking its dependencies? It should be possible to have kdelibs-3.0.2 with kdenetwork-3.0.1, however it seems to be unable to work out the dependencies (I already have kdelibs-3.0.2 installed):

emerge --nodeps

Not sure why you want to do above, since kdenetwork-3.0.2 is in portage, but I'm sure there are good reasons

Thanks.

The reason is because of a bug I am having with KMail and IMAP. If I can't figure out how to fix it cleanly then I will just go back the older KMail, which was working fine for me on my last system.

Thanks for the explanation.
