Good luck to others. Did you try the most straightforward (albeit lengthy) approach: unmerge all of Qt emerge world and let portage figure out what it wants to put back There is seldom a good reason to have Qt packages in world (dev packages excepted) and recent changes in the ebuild have caused lots of mutual blockers. When I first went through this, I saw that almost all qt-* packages would be rebuilt on my machines. It seemed easier to restart with a clean slate. I got a blocker notice which said I had to enable various flags, which I did and the merge completed flawlessly. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
