qt is SLOTted, I think you are simply using the wrong syntax. Using my
machine as an example (you should also emerge eix, it's so much easier
and quicker than emerge -s):
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/bin $ eix -e qt
[I] x11-libs/qt
Available versions:
(3) 3.3.4-r8 3.3.8-r4
(4) 4.3.2-r1 (~)4.3.3 (~)4.3.4 [M](~)4.4.0_beta1
The SLOTs are "3" and "4"
If I try to update qt, portage will update qt4 as it's the latest
version. I would have to do something like
emerge =qt-3.3.8-r4
or the newish syntax incorporating SLOTs
emerge qt:3
You were essentially trying to tell portage to update a package
called "qt-3", there is no such package. And getting to grips with
emerge's version number syntax can be a bitch
Does this answer your query?
