[gentoo-user] KDE 4, dev-python/sip and dependency graph
Dale
I'm wanting to give KDE 4 another shot. I used autounmask to add all
the lines to package.unmask and package.keyword. It was quite a lot I
might add. Anyway, I'm getting this now.
Total: 238 packages (2 upgrades, 2 downgrades, 117 new, 117 in new
slots), Size of downloads: 390,805 kB
!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:
dev-python/sip:0
('ebuild', '/', 'dev-python/sip-4.8.1', 'merge') pulled in by
>=dev-python/sip-4.8.1 required by ('ebuild', '/',
'dev-python/PyQt4-4.5.1', 'merge')
(and 2 more)
('installed', '/', 'dev-python/sip-4.7.9', 'nomerge') pulled in by
~dev-python/sip-4.7.9 required by ('installed', '/',
'dev-python/PyQt-3.17.6', 'nomerge')
(and 2 more)
I found the same message on the forums but found no fix for this. It
seems sip is not slotted and one qt package needs the old version and
another qt package needs the new version and both sip packages can't be
there at the same time.
Ideas on how to get around this?

P. S. I also tried the new xorg-server earlier. It was a bust again.
No mouse, no keyboard. sysreq key saved the day tho. It's running with
-hal in package.use. :-p

Try -python in your make.conf USE setting. That should disable the
python
bindings. If you run across a package that really needs the python
bindings,
enable just it in your /etc/portage/package.use
For details, search for the "PyQt4-4.5 and pykde4-4.2.4 blockers"
thread.
HTH,

Thanks Roy. I saw the thread subject line you mentioned but didn't
realize it was related to my issue. I'll give that a try and report
back if it doesn't like that for some reason.
Thanks much !
