For a long time, I've been having a problem upgrading 'icu'.
There seems to be a conflict with KDE :
!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled

dev-libs/icu:0
(dev-libs/icu-64.2:0/64.2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
dev-libs/icu (Argument)

I get something like that from time to time. What I do is to back up the
current ICU with:
quickpkg dev-libs/icu
so that I can quickly install it again if something doesn't work later
on. Reinstalling it from the above created binary package is done with:
emerge -a1K dev-libs/icu
(The "K" is important, otherwise it will re-built ICU instead of just
installing from the backup binary package.)
Then I unmerge it:
emerge -aC dev-libs/icu
And then I run the @world upgrade again and see if portage is now able
to figure it out.
