I am really new at this and this is what im getting with emerge -av kde-meta. Im just having a hard time reading it and would really help if someone could walk me through it?

emerge -av kde-meta

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

kde-base/kdelibs:4

(kde-base/kdelibs-4.7.2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
>=kde-base/kdelibs-4.7.2:4[aqua=,handbook] required by (kde-base/kdesu-4.7.2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)
(and 6 more with the same problem)

(kde-base/kdelibs-4.6.5-r2::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
(no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in this slot)

kde-base/oxygen-icons:4

(kde-base/oxygen-icons-4.6.5::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
(no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in this slot)

(kde-base/oxygen-icons-4.7.2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
>=kde-base/oxygen-icons-4.7.2:4[aqua=] required by (kde-base/kdepimlibs-4.7.2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)
(and 3 more with the same problem)

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in
the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can
not be installed simultaneously. You may want to try a larger value of
the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if
that will solve this conflict automatically.

page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

It seems that you are mixing up different version of KDE on your system (4.6 and 4.7). Could you paste the output of your /etc/portage/package.keywords file?

Have you looked at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/k ... -guide.xml - it has instructions on what needs to be placed in package.keywords to allow for the installation of 4.7 on an otherwise stable system.
