I have been fighting with this for at least three weeks now. Most of
the conflicting packages are qt-based, between 4.8.1 (which I want) and
4.7.4 (which I don't want). I have rebuilt every package I can find
again 4.8.1, but emerge still wants to install 4.7.4, despite the fact
that I've altered my /etc/portage/package.mask file to try to keep them
away. Here's my /etc/portage/package.mask:

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in
the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can
not be installed simultaneously. You may want to try a larger value of
the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if
that will solve this conflict automatically.
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man
page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
The following mask changes are necessary to proceed:

NOTE: The --autounmask-keep-masks option will prevent emerge
from creating package.unmask or ** keyword changes.
Use --autounmask-write to write changes to config files (honoring
CONFIG_PROTECT).
How do I get the system to stop bothering me about qt-*-*-4.7.4?
