Instead of unmerging stuff without mercy, taking a sledgehammer to the problem and generally acting like a Windows user, I recommend you read the output and understand what is going on. It clearly says that your *current* version of udev which is less than 114 is blocking sane-backends and libgphoto. So, merge udev separately: emerge -av1 udev there's no need for udev to go in world, it's already in system. Then emerge world and it will probably work (after you deal with qt that is, but another poster told you how to do that) -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
