There you go. That's the one.
Everything else in the conflicts list is in the format of "qt-4.7.1 pulled by
=qt-4.6.3 pulled in by..."
That one starts with 4.6.3, it's different. The pulled in by simply says that
it's the version chosen by portage because k3b (and lots of other stuff,
remember) needs it. Which doesn't explain why it's *that* version.
Till you look at eix qt-multimedia and see that 4.6.3 is keyword arch.
I bet you forgot to keyword it unstable.
I get the same when I disable hal. I need to see if anything else uses
hal and if not, get rid of it. By the way, I unmerged the qt stuff last
night and KDE wouldn't come up. So that won't work.
Your thoughts? What am I missing?
Your brain? You tried to start KDE without qt! That's like wondering why the
box won't boot without a kernel :-)
You *sure* the gubment isn't putting something in the drinking water down
South where you are?
well, at least you relieved the evening tedium of watching config updates from
a server in Nigeria scroll on down the window :-)
That would be the problem. I knew it was just me missing something.
This is better:
root@fireball / # emerge -av k3b
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]
I wasn't clear enough. I removed the 4.7 versions of qt, installed the
4.6 versions then tried to login to KDE. It doesn't like the old
version and I figured it wouldn't but tried anyway.
Glad to get this sorted out. Whew !!
Thanks.
