Something is fishy, those blocks are meant to tell you you're trying to mix qt versions which is *not* supported.
There are a few things you can do to get rid of this once and for all: - make sure your /var/lib/portage/world has no references to qt (4) - make sure your emerge commands won't try to fetch only part of qt >> octavian ~ # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge -uav qt-svg qt-sql qt-dbus >> qt-gui qt-core qt-test qt-assistant why would you ever want to do that? its easy to end up with mixed versions :S # remove all qt4 (not necessary, anyway) emerge -aC `eix --only-names -I x11-libs/qt-` # remove qt meta package just in case emerge -aC x11-libs/qt:4 # let dependencies pull qt, don't pull it yourself... emerge -avDuN world http://www.linuxized.com/2009/06/upgrading-qt-libraries-in-gentoo-with-portage/ -- Alex Alexander || wired Gentoo Linux Developer http://www.linuxized.com On Fri, Jul 31, 2009 at 15:49, Mark Haney<mha...@ercbroadband.org> wrote: > Mark Haney wrote: > >> >> And, FWIW, on topic, having qt3support globally makes no difference.
