I've had this in my make.conf for many years now:

   EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--backtrack=200"

Never hit the issue you described (KDE desktop, thus Qt is always
a dep.)


Added similar here now. I see the default is 10, obviously that is not 
enough when a big Qt drop hits.


I have something like 30 Qt-5 packages! When did it get so big? I 
recall building Qt4 and it was about 6 or so.

Perhaps the devs split it up into many smaller packages.

I built this computer in 2018, been using KDE for my desktop and it's 
always been on ~amd64. I've had to increase backtrack like twice to 
resolve some Qt upgrades, not worth upping the default, would not save time.

This is the one that solved it. Been away too long, forgot all about 
backtrack
