two days ago I ran "emerge --update --newuse --deep world" and
"emerge --depclean" and "revdep-rebuild". During this rebuild,
most of the kde screensavers were removed. Running
emerge kscreensavers gives the error message

# emerge kscreensaver
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] kde-base/kscreensaver-3.5.9 USE="opengl -arts -debug
-kdeenablefinal -kdehiddenvisibility -xinerama"
[blocks B ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.5* (is blocking kde-base/kscreensaver-3.5.9)
[blocks B ] kde-base/kscreensaver:3.5 (is blocking kde-base/kdebase-3.5.9-r3)

* Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be
* installed at the same time on the same system.


Usually I can stumble around and get the packages to install, not this time.

first question - where does "3.5*" keep coming from. Every time I update
anything related to KDE this "3.5*" and "Blocked" keeps popping up.
I've searched through the /etc directory, but can't find any reference to it.

second question - how do I get around this Block

You must install either the monolithic or the split ebuilds
of kde - you must not mix them.
You seem to have installed both:
1. either the monolithic ebuild kdebase itself or some
other monolothic ebuild which pulls in kdebase, and
2. a split ebuild like kscreensaver.

That brings up 2 more questions

Why doesn't the monolithic have all the kde screen savers. (fireworks)

And how do I permantley solve this with out starting clean slate. I've used this
build since feb 06. don't want to loose the kde preferences.

IIRC, they are in kdeartwork.

Do an 'emerge -pv kdeartwork' to check for use flags for that package.

Here's what I come up with.

# emerge -pv kdeartwork

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

[ebuild R ] kde-base/kdeartwork-3.5.9 USE="opengl -arts -debug

I think the way to go is to forget about the primitive kde screensavers,
and add the use flag xscreensaver to your make.conf and use xscreensaver.
It'll, of course, have the fireworks screensaver you were looking for.
