I'm sure the problem isn't in my backup script. It's always worked perfectly
before. All the same, I have now added --xattrs to every tar command in it.
D'you want to know what else I've been doing all day? Go on, do you?
I'll tell you anyway.
To stand any chance of upgrading KDE apps to 16.12.0, I first evicted every
package returned by eix -Cc dev-qt and eix -Cc kde-plasma, plus a few more
individual packages that were also getting in the way. (The eix man page is
helpful in showing how to extract just the cat/pkg from a list of package
names. Full marks for ingenuity!)
Then I ran a -uaDvU world to install 300 "new" packages. Hours later, I had
a load more @preserved-rebuild packages to install. I've attached the
output, which shows that it wants to go back to the superseded versions. [0]
shows what it thinks it can install, while [1] lists all the things that
stop it doing anything
Still absolutely no go. Oddly enough, BGO has only a few 16.12.0 package
bugs and they're all about single packages - nothing to indicate the system-
wide problems I'm having, so it looks as though I have a combination of
packages that cause problems themselves.
I've now reverted to the good backup I made this morning. I shall have to
consider whether to start building a new system from scratch, a bit at a
time, until I find the culprit. It'd keep me occupied over Christmas,
anyway.

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.
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man
page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
