Hello,

I have a package

It's a binary package, so you can't do anything.
dev-qt/qtxmlpatterns should be a rdep.

To elaborate on nicop's answer: fixing a preserved-lib relation requires rebuilding the package. Since this is in /opt, it is (probably) a prebuilt binary package, so emerge merely recopies the existing wrong files, and does not rebuild them. This is why emerge @preserved-rebuild is not helping. You need the maintainer of the package to fix this, either by setting a version constraint that prohibits Portage switching the version of qtxmlpatterns or by providing a version that is built with the qtxmlpatterns you use now.

ok. Thanks. I will try to contact the maintainer.
