Any information will be appreciated. It isn't a bug. It is because you didn't install it properly. I can't define properly more than if it works, you did it properly. I think KDE upgrades either fail or work. When you have the multiple items in the menu's, you have a failure. From personal experience, you have to uninstall KDE-x before you try to upgrade it to something higher. I don't know if it is from being bitten too many times but I start out clean with KDE. Some of this you can do by capturing the output from pkg_info | grep kde to a file like kderm and convert it to a script. You then edit the list into a series of "pkg_delete -f" for the string of kde*2 ports associated with KDE-2. If you go to too much trouble, I surely wouldn't install a pre-version of it. You also have to consider that I can make the port from source code in about 2 hours. If you want to deal with reasonable times, you might be able to reinstall the packages or make reinstall the ports at that point. Just recently I updated libmng and broke KDE-2.1. I pkg_deleted everything make cleaned it and reinstalled it from scratch. It turns out the libmng-1.0 breaks qt-2.2.4 and that inturn breaks KDE-2.1. So, I had to start building at libmng and then qt-2.2.4 and at that point I could use the KDE-2 meta project to build everything else. It was about 3 hours before I had a x-desktop back. My slowest system would have required most of a day to do the same thing.
