This=20 should be able to ignore blocks. 2) Adjust your VIDEO_CARDS, I don't think you have that many cards plugged= =20 into your machine. 3) There seem to be blocks between monolithic and splitted kde/qt (kde*-met= a)=20 ebuilds. Decide which ones to use and remove the others. qt you need to=20 eventually update separatedly, i.e. emerge qt. 4) update world with the "ignore blocks" option turned on (don't know which= =20 that is, since I use paludis). 5) emerge --depclean (-p) to remove the cruft.
