Thank you both for your responses, i will try dealing with QT first and then emerge udev separately, without any mercilless barbaric running-around-barely-dressed-waving-an-axe-around unmerging.<br><br>I&#39;m gonna miss the sledgehammer though...<br>

&gt; &gt; My usual solution for problems of this kind is to mercilessly unmerge any<br>
&gt; &gt; packages that stand in my way, but, considering we are talking about<br>
&gt; &gt; packages like qt and udev, i must admit i do not dare to follow my usual<br>

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

It clearly says that your *current* version of udev which is less than 114 is<br>
blocking sane-backends and libgphoto. So, merge udev separately:<br>
<br>
emerge -av1 udev<br>
<br>
there&#39;s no need for udev to go in world, it&#39;s already in system. Then emerge<br>
world and it will probably work (after you deal with qt that is, but another<br>
poster told you how to do that)<br>
