   Package Blocks for kde

   From: daveaube@bellsouth.net   
      
   two days ago I ran "emerge --update --newuse --deep world" and   
   "emerge --depclean" and "revdep-rebuild".  During this rebuild,   
   most of the kde screensavers were removed.  Running   
   emerge kscreensavers gives the error message   
      
   # emerge kscreensaver   
   Calculating dependencies... done!   
   [ebuild  N    ] kde-base/kscreensaver-3.5.9  USE="opengl -arts -debug   
   -kdeenablefinal -kdehiddenvisibility -xinerama"   
   [blocks B     ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.5* (is blocking kde-base/ksc   
   eensaver-3.5.9)   
   [blocks B     ] kde-base/kscreensaver:3.5 (is blocking kde-base/   
   debase-3.5.9-r3)   
      
    * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be   
    * installed at the same time on the same system.   
      
      
   Usually I can stumble around and get the packages to install, not this time.   
      
   first question  - where does "3.5*" keep coming from.  Every time I update   
   anything related to KDE this "3.5*" and "Blocked" keeps popping up.   
   I've searched through the /etc directory, but can't find any reference to it.   
      
   second question - how do I get around this Block
