But once in a while I'm lost, like this time emerge --keep-going -j2 -1 --ask --update --newuse --deep @system @world gives a lot of blockings which I don't quite understand (and there are so many) - see below. I'd be very grateful to some hint how to proceed in such a case. I've already looked at the dependencies of some of these packages but I can't find the reason for those blockings. (I'm using portage 2.2_rc33) Many thanks for your help, Helmut. You have a mixture of qt-4.5.1 and 4.5.2 packages there. Do you perhaps have x11-libs/qt installed? Unmerge it, it's a meta package and you don't need it. Let other apps that use qt pull in the necessary packages. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

All these version -4.5.1-r packages look very suspicious to me. Honestly, I'd uninstall all the the blocking packages, `emerge -upv world` and let suitable versions be pulled in as dependencies.
