   I guess you have kde in your /var/lib/portage/world, remove it or replace it   
   with kde-meta.   
   I must update to 3.5.10, as programs that depends on kde will otherwise get   
   problems, for example ktorrent updates would break your update.   
      
   The removal of the files in /var/db/pkg/kde-base is there just to make that   
   you don't have to uninstall kde3.5.9 to build kde3.5.10 and you have a semi   
   working kde until all is finished.   
      
   I would have done   
   1. remove kde-3.5.9 packages from pkg   
   2. emerge kde-meta   
   3. rebuild things that depends on KDE.
