I had kde-3.1 and kde-3.0.5a installed. Yesterday I rsynced and noticed a new version of kde, kde-3.1.1 was available.

So I put emerge to work to update kde. Today I come back, and it appeared to have finished.

So I started X and kde-3.1.1. I got all sorts of messages about mime-types not available and kioslaves not functioning etc etc etc.
I went to do some investigation, and it appeared that portage had installed kde3.1.1 in /usr/kde/3.1/ as well.

So I tried to start kde3.0.5a, but the same problem. All three seem to have merged or and crippled eachother.

As a solution I've un-emerged all kde packages of all versions, and I'm compiling kde-3.1.1 all over again now. But I'm not too happy with it.

What happened here? Something is wrong in de kde-3.1.1 ebuild that makes it install over the old one or something?

I have had the same problem myself. There has to be a better way than to unmerge and remerge, but I don't see any other options. The files are there, but if you attempt to run them from the run menu, they die. When you click on the K, there's nothing there.

I was running KDE 3.1.0 when I emerged 3.1.1 and had no such problems. Did you try to do an etc-update after the emerge? Could be there are config files that needed updating.

Yes I updated all my config files. I have a policy of overwriting all config files unless I explicitly know I changed them, after which I check what the changes are.

As I didn't change any of KDE's files, I've just overwritten all files.

Kde-3.1.1 has finished compiling and it's all up and running properly now.

But I still think that it should've been installed in a separate directory, like /usr/kde/3.1.1/

The only reason I can think of for this problem is that I upgraded KDE using kportage, while running KDE. But as far as I know, upgrading running programs shouldn't cause any problems.

It's caused by some wackiness between 3.0.5 and the newer versions. If you unmerge 3.0.5, you should be able to get it working without remerging 3.1.1.

Maybe that'd be integrated into the ebuild then?
