Hi,

there is a new qt and kde available, but it still has the annoying USE flag
qt3support... is there a way to get rid of it? a lot of kde packages are
complaining about qt3support and I don't want it.

qt3 left my system a couple of years ago!
so this is starting to get really annoying 8-(


What Paul said.  qt3support is needed by some Qt4 programs and it's not 
optional.  If a program needs it, there's no way around it.


But it's nothing you should be concerned about; qt3support is part of 
Qt4 itself.

ok, thanks.
it's just that it sounds so old and I'm running ~amd64... 
but since you have no control yourself why not de-USE it or make it a forced 
USE?

I'm not sure.  My guess is that it's needed in order to trigger a 
rebuild and that it's not enough for a package to depend on 
x11-libs/qt-qt3support; the other qt-* libs must be rebuild.  I think :P
