As long as you aren't trying to mix keywords you should generally end up with compatible versions without a lot of hassle. Now, if you want to install some random ~arch kde packages on an otherwise-stable system then you might run into problems. > > Now I need to install Kdevelop-5.1.0, and emerge are asking to install kde's > dependencies' version 5.7.1.

It sounds like you're running into a qt update issue (I assume you're talking about qt here - your description isn't very specific). If so, I suspect this will help you: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Qt/FAQ#Solving_the_block I'd have to dig up the reason behind this - there was an issue that prevented portage from being able to figure out how to resolve this one on its own. You probably should have run into this a while ago when running a regular emerge -uD world. -- Rich
