I've tried alot of things, but I give up. Can someone help me with the knot
of dependencies that has been holding my system in hostage from any attempt
to update world, for weeks now?
This message asked if I want to merge these packages:

I think one of the problems is I installed KDE 4.3.X and all of that may
need rebuilding.
I tried installing a qt overlay. I tried unmasking a more advanced masked
qt. I've seen a number of messages, some of them from a few months back,
recommending several magical incantations. Nothing seems to get me beyond
this knot.
Thank you,
Alan
