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. > I guess the paths i can follow are masking some packages or unmerging some > packages, being confronted by such a decision and unsure of what i should > do, i decided to seek your advice.
