   Hi u all :)   
      
   As I do almost once a week, I tried today to update my gentoo, but a lot of   
   kde... packages are blocked by what seems to be a previous version of   
   kde-base. Do I have to unmerge all kde ( or kde-base) to let the system   
   update ?   
   Thanks for your answers. Here is the output of the emerge commande :
