I re-emerged Aide today and saw the note about Aide making incorrect

Just another bullet point of information for the 'can't upgrade to
4.5.2 cause of qt3support' thread. I solved it here by removing 'qt3'
from USE in make.conf. For whatever reason, I had both 'qt3' and 'qt4'
in the USE flag. Removing 'qt3' allowed 'emerge world' to do its
thing.

This is why I keep an empty world file and use /etc/portage/sets/
exclusively. I'm backing up /etc/portage anyway (package.use and
friends), so it just makes sense to have 'world' in there ;

Just saw the eselect news item saying make.conf and make.profile are
