emerge -pv world issue

What's up with this?

audioslave akruse # emerge -pv world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies \
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "virtual/fam".


!!! Problem with ebuild kde-base/kde-3.3.1
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.

!!! Depgraph creation failed.

Give this a shot,

emerge app-admin/fam

If your looking to rebuild your system using a new make.conf file try
#emerge -pev world
and see what the out put is.

If I'm reading the error correctly, the new standards you want to build KDE to require something called virtual/fam to be installed first, but there is no ebuild in your portage tree for virtual/fam. There is, however, as {PMS}fishy said, an ebuild for app-admin/fam. That's why I suggested addign the 'e' option, so that all the background files would be forced to be rebuilt as well which will hopefully include fam.

You might also try
#emerge -pev fam world
which would force portage to emerge fam first then go on to world, and see if that clears up the dependancy problem.

Yes, emerging app-admin/fam fixed it....
