Those are the installed. It's trying to upgrade to the latest:

It's trying now to downgrade  any to 5.13.2, or 5.14.1  etc.

I'd rather just block them for now until the 5.14.2 stabilizes?

Any quick (syntax) suggestions on locking into the newest offerings for 
qt* would be keen, as what I have tried, to date, does not seem to 
placate the qt_beast.....

Since purging python 2.7 pathway is underhand (not complaining) I 
figured I might as well be up on the latest qt*, as the newest codes 
always seem to work for me.  My next gentoo install will be all 
testing/edge codes.

Note: I also use a wide variety of secondary sources for ebuilds, for 
example:
sync-uri = rsync://roverlay.dev.gentoo.org/roverlay

I suspect the problem(s), that are recurring upgrades with qt* may be do 
to the latest release of qt packages, these extra repos, or something 
unknown to me  as a necessary sequence to upgrade qt packages. It is a 
recurring problem.

hth,
James
