 Posted: Sat Dec 05, 2009 8:33 pm Post subject: KDE 4.2 blocking upgrade to 4.3 |
 |

I'm still using KDE 4.2 but would like to update my system now. However, I get blockers for whole KDE when running emerge -uDpv world: (just a short part of it below)
| Code: |

I read in that thread that this could be due to ebuilds listed with :4.2 in my worldfile. Greping for :4.2 I have exactly that:
| Code: |
# grep :4.2 /var/lib/portage/world
kde-base/gwenview:4.2
kde-base/kde-meta:4.2
kde-base/kdebase-kioslaves:4.2
kde-base/kdelibs:4.2
kde-base/kget:4.2
kde-base/khotkeys:4.2
kde-base/krdc:4.2
kde-base/krfb:4.2
kde-base/krunner:4.2
kde-base/ksmserver:4.2
kde-base/libkdcraw:4.2
kde-base/libkexiv2:4.2
kde-base/okular:4.2
kde-base/plasma-workspace:4.2
|
However, if I try to remove some of that explicit :4.2 slots from the file I still get blockers 4.2 vs 4.3 on these ebuilds.
How can I fix that? I only want the most current stable KDE, no need for explicit slotting. 4.2 has already vanished completely from the portage tree as it seems; for example:
| Code: |
# eix khotkeys
[UD] kde-base/khotkeys
Available versions:
(3.5) 3.5.10
(4.3) 4.3.1 4.3.3 ~4.3.4
{aqua debug elibc_FreeBSD kdeenablefinal kdehiddenvisibility kdeprefix}
Installed versions: 3.5.10(3.5)(12:17:16 AM 10/02/2009)(-debug -elibc_FreeBSD -kdehiddenvisibility)
4.2.4(4.2)(10:06:13 PM 06/28/2009)(-debug -kdeprefix)
Homepage: http://www.kde.org/
Description: KDE: hotkey daemon
|
The 4.2 slot is not listed any more.
What do I need to do to get the upgrade working? (Preferably without explicitly unmerging all 200+ ebuilds.) If there only seems to be one active slot per major revision, why isn't it just called :3 and :4 then; so upgrades between minor revisions don't cause such trouble? Or is there any way I don't know of to tell emerge to migrate the whole 4.2 installed ebuilds to the new slot 4.3?
I didn't use sets nor kdeprefix, just the plain slotted ebuilds and kde-meta.

You really should uninstall kde-4.2 entirely before trying to install kde-4.3.
And also remove those entries from world. |

Will this only be once or with each new release of KDE? I never had to do that with KDE 3 but these slots including minor revisions bother me if they will suddenly disappear and block - why do we have them anyway if 2 slotted versions cannot co-exist? I thought that would be the whole point of having slots.
It's okay if this happens once but I wouldn't like having to unmerge everything manually with every single minor release KDE 4 will have. There really should be a more easy way to upgrade the system but I could be wrong and this is only because we transition from unstable (keyworded) KDE 4.2 to stable 4.3?

You should try :
| Code: |
# emerge -pCv $(qlist -ICv kde | grep 4.2) |
