Hi,

yes I had the blocker when running emerge -DuavN world . I unmerged
qt-4.3* and ran emerge -DuavN world again. That brought in the qt-4.4.2.
Tho investigate further:

equery d x11-libs/qt
[ Searching for packages depending on x11-libs/qt... ]
app-crypt/pinentry-0.7.5 (qt3? x11-libs/qt:3)
app-text/poppler-bindings-0.8.7 (qt3? >=x11-libs/qt-3.3:3)
                                (qt4? >=x11-libs/qt-4.3:4)
media-video/vlc-0.9.8a (qt4? =x11-libs/qt-4.3*:4)
                       (skins? =x11-libs/qt-4.3*:4)
net-im/skype-2.0.0.63 (x86 & !qt-static? =x11-libs/qt-4.3*:4)

Those are still depending on qt-4.3* but non are depending on 4.4.2.

I will try an emerge -1av skype to learn what it will depend on afterwards.
