Instead of unmerging stuff without mercy, taking a sledgehammer to the problem 
and generally acting like a Windows user, I recommend you read the output and 
understand what is going on.

It clearly says that your *current* version of udev which is less than 114 is 
blocking sane-backends and libgphoto. So, merge udev separately:

emerge -av1 udev

there's no need for udev to go in world, it's already in system. Then emerge 
world and it will probably work (after you deal with qt that is, but another 
poster told you how to do that)
