when i try to emerge kdeadmin i get following error:

.....
fast creating secpolicy/Makefile
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: executing depfiles commands

Good - your configure finished. Start make now

cd . && make -f admin/Makefile.common configure.in

It seems to me that you could try with:
env USE="-foreign-package" emerge -U kdeadmin
Maybe works. I'm not sure at all, since I'm trying it right now :roll:

!!
Good luck

Is it safe to just over-write the kdeadmin ebuild with the file posted on that bugzilla link (se previous message)?

This is quite an odd bug because surely most people who use Gentoo will have the latest versions of those packages that are breaking this ebuild?

Thanks

This seems to be the easiest solution for now!
