Thanks : that's my own procedure in simpler cases.
In fact, it worked well here too, upgrading 'icu' + some requirements.
After that, there was  2 hr  further "preserved-rebuild", incl LO.
It's a pity Portage can't handle these cases itself or offer help.

There seems to be a conflict with KDE :

   !!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
   !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

   dev-libs/icu:0

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

   (dev-libs/icu-60.2:0/60.2::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
   dev-libs/icu:0/60.2= required by 
(dev-qt/qtwebkit-5.212.0_pre20180120:5/5.212::gentoo, installed)
   


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.
