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


How can I do this?=A0
=A0
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-* packag= es
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, whi= ch
I did and the merge completed flawlessly.


I will try to unin= stall all "qt-*"=A0 packages.=A0=A0 I'd like to uninstall KDE= 4 also.
