I finally was able to emerge -NuDav world, and revdep-rebuild passed the system as clean. However, when I try emerge -uDav world again, that same message, or some permutation of it, is presented.
I have set the flags "dbus qt3support qt3 qt4" and so on. So that's not it. I unmerged a number of the involved packages, that looked something like "qt-*". I did this just before running the more or less successful "emerge -NuDav world". A week ago, I ran "emerge -e world". Perhaps I need to do this again. I've read a plethora of postings, such as a sticky post on the Gentoo Forums, and some of these emails, as well as googling, and tried several things. When this all began, about three weeks ago, or longer, I noticed problems with hplip python I have python 3.1 and python 2.6 installed, Some advice was seen to make sure eselect is pointing to 2.6. I also ran python-updater. A new work week is starting, my system is responding normally, I will avoid KDE4, and type this all shakes itself out, over the next week or so. Thank you to those who have helped. Good luck to others. Alan
