To follow up, after removing "qt" (by mistake), and all the qt-* packages I
could find, this is what I found when running "emerge -uDav world""
x11-libs/qt-gui:4
('ebuild', '/', 'x11-libs/qt-gui-4.5.3-r1', 'merge') conflicts with
~x11-libs/qt-gui-4.5.2[-debug] required by ('ebuild', '/',

Not sure where to go with this.
When I ran "emerge world" the re-installation of more than 250 packages was
begun.
