Unfortunately, neither portupgrade nor a plain make nor a pkg_add work=20 terribly well with a KDE metaport upgrade across version numbers (3.0.x ->= =20 3.0.x seems to be ok, 2.2 -> 3.0, and 3.0 -> 3.1, is not proving too=20 successful for most people). Some of us would very much like the kde=20 metaport to die an unseemly death, however, it *is* a convenient way to=20 install a functional set of KDE packages, so it's unlikely to happen soon. In any case, if you have individual KDE packages installed, portupgrade wil= l=20 more than happily upgrade them. If you have the metaport installed, you=20 likely need to deinstall and reinstall, or for masochists, portupgrade -Rrf= =20 will probably work, but will rebuild a whole lot more than just KDE.
