Gentoo KDE problems

[klingeltone]

Hello
I have Gentoo Linux rc1.4 installed on my system.
When I try to download packages using "emerge kde" this is what
it tells me:

Calculating dependencies |
!!! problem in kde-base/kde dependancies
!!! list index out of range


Anyway have any ideas ?
Thanks.

try:

emerge kdebase --pretend

and see what it says

maybe kdebase is corrupt. If you still don't have X yet, you might want to try:

emerge -C kdebase

(removes kdebase)

then try again:

emerge kdebase --pretend

if all seems well:

emerge kdebase

and go from there.

you do realize that if you emerge kde that you will get a ton of crap you might not use?

see my gentoo linux guide on the link below for more details.

rm /var/cache/edb/virtuals && touch /var/cache/edb/virtuals

That happens when that table becomes corrupt or the portage tree. If its the portage tree, you must rm -rf the tree then emerge sync again.
