There's an elog about it. I do not have kde installed (I use gnome). I just did an eix --installed kde to confirm. I have 10 "qt" packages (confirmed with eix --installed qt) Seven begin with qt- and are at 4.5.1 with 4.5.2 available. The other three are qt PyQt PyQt4. None of the seven are in world. Have I understood correctly the procedure to be 1. Unmerge these 7 (*not* 10) 2. emerge --update --ask --newuse --deep --tree -v --with-bdeps=y world 3. depclean and revdep-rebuild thanks to alan dale and peter for their help. allan
