AFAIK, only KDE4 uses Qt 4.
Unmerge x11-libs/qt:4 and emerge the split qt.
Unless you don't have qt installed, then something's weird.

Can you post the output of eix x11-libs/qt -c ?


As long as you don't use USB or any hotplug devices, you can unmerge
and remerge udev at will.

Make backups, then do what you usually do.
