Hi there! KDE 4.6.2 ebuilds arrived in the kde overlay, but the distfiles are not on the mirror servers yet. I'm on ~amd64, this stuff is not masked for me. So my world update stops due to missing files.No big problem, but still a little annoying, and I would like to know how one should deal with this. I tried to put a link to $LAYMAN/kde/Documentation/package.mask/kde-4.6 in /etc/portage/package.mask, but that of course masks KDE 4.6 completely. So I removed the kde overlay. This works, but it would downgrade stuff like amarok-9999 which I am testing. I tried to avoid this by putting <media- sound/amarok-9999 into package.mask, but it has no effect. Then I copied media-sound/amarok from the kde overlay into my local overlay, now I can update. Is there a better solution? This situation seems to happen with every minor KDE update. Wonko
