Hi again

Since the problems I've recently had, I try to keep my gentoo distro up to
date, so I run almost every 2 days an "emerge --sync" , followed by
an "emerge -uDv world" , but this time, I get a message that I don't really
understand ( my english is ... ) . Could anyone tell me what that means and
what I should do ?
Thanks a lot , here is the message :

************************************************** *******
jef jf # emerge -uDv world

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

Calculating world dependencies /
!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been
!!! pulled into the dependency graph:

kde-base/kdelibs:3.5

('installed', '/', 'kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.8-r4', 'nomerge') pulled in by
('installed', '/', 'kde-base/kde-3.5.8', 'nomerge')

('ebuild', '/', 'kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.9-r4', 'merge') pulled in by
('installed', '/', 'kde-misc/ksensors-0.7.3', 'nomerge')


It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the
dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be
installed simultaneously.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page
or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

!!! Depgraph creation failed.

The new version of ksensors requires kde 3.5.9 but you have kde 3.5.8
installed, so this makes a conflict when ksensors tries to emerge, as
the kde 3.5.8 sees to that you won't get the kdelibs 3.5.9.

To solve this, you either mask ksensors 0.7.3 or you see to upgrade the
kde to 3.5.9.

You've only specified that you want the unstable release for part of kde.
There's a new dependancy and you haven't specified that you want the
unstable version of it.

Best solution is to quit using the unstable packages.
