Re: How to reinstall kde-meta

Hello,

this is not 'well defined request'. One would think, that you want

emerge -avet kde-meta

This _will_ do it, but you probably don't need to re-emerge
system-wide dependecies. What you could try is (if you don't have eix
already, get it in app-portage/eix):

emerge -av1 `eix '-I*' --format '<installedversions:NAMEASLOT>' ^kde-.*/`

This will re-emerge all ebuilds in kde-* categories that are currently
installed. This will be exactly the oposite, since you won't get some
packages rebuilt (f.e. qt is not in kde category, but is dependecy of
kde-meta).

I guess you could find useful this command if you're using kde overlay
(kde-sunset in my case)

eix --in-overlay kde-sunset '-I*' --format  '<installedversions:NAMEASLOT>'

Did some of these do it?
