[gentoo-amd64] Emerge problems involving kde and qt

[gentoo-amd64] Emerge problems involving kde and qt

[Drake Donahue]

Trying to help a friend update a stale system. Anyone know what all this
means? 
I don't recognize the nomenclature of :4 as in qt-sql-4.5.1:4 (nor does
emerge)


"emerge -uNDa --keep-going world" yields 

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been
pulled 
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: 

x11-libs/qt-sql:4 

('installed', '/', 'x11-libs/qt-sql-4.5.3', 'nomerge') pulled in by 
>=x11-libs/qt-sql-4.5.0:4[sqlite,mysql] required by ('ebuild', '/',
'app-office/akonadi-server-1.2.1', 'merge') 
(and 243 more) 

('ebuild', '/', 'x11-libs/qt-sql-4.5.3', 'merge') pulled in by 
x11-libs/qt-sql required by world 
>=x11-libs/qt-sql-4.5.1:4[qt3support] required by ('ebuild', '/',
'kde-base/kcminit-4.3.1', 'merge') 
>=x11-libs/qt-sql-4.5.1:4[qt3support] required by ('ebuild', '/',
'kde-base/kdeartwork-kscreensaver-4.3.1', 'merge') 
(and 240 more) 

Explanation: 

New USE for 'x11-libs/qt-sql:4' are incorrectly set. In order to solve 
this, adjust USE to satisfy '>=x11-libs/qt-sql-4.5.0:4[sqlite,mysql]'.

Anyone know what all this means?

What needs to be typed where to
"New USE for 'x11-libs/qt-sql:4' are incorrectly set. In order to solve 
this, adjust USE to satisfy '>=x11-libs/qt-sql-4.5.0:4[sqlite,mysql]'."
 'nomerge') pulled in by 243+ packages whie 'nomerge pulled in by 240+
packages seems insane.

I'm thinking that unmerging all kde* packages and all qt* and then 
USE="-kde -qt -qt3 -qt4 -qt3support" emerge uND world may be needed?

The :4 means it is slot 4 (as opposed to the Qt 3.x stuff). The error
is telling you to enable the sqlite and mysql USE flags for
x11-libs/qt-sql which you can do by adding/editing a line like this in
your /etc/portage/package.use file:

x11-libs/qt-sql:4 sqlite mysql

and then try your emerge operation again. Hopefully it will help. :)

Thanks he says he is rolling now.
would swear we tried '>=qt-sql-4.5.1:4 sqlite mysql' earlier. maybe he
typoed. Thanks from a gnome.
