Kdelibs has the new files and when you try to update kdebase later, it 
messes up the install. That is why you have to delete kdebase first. If 
the files had been moved from kdelibs into kdebase, it wouldn't have 
mattered.

Portupgrade doesn't deal with the situation with large projects such as 
KDE when files or tools are moved from a lower port into one required 
as a base port such as kdelibs. I don't think it could deal with it.

I always build packages and can just reinstall the one that I just 
trashed.
