Per Guidelines item #4, please show us the full output. If I had to guess based on the limited data you showed, I would say you have some package that depends on an outdated version of phonon, so you cannot update to the latest version. The output you omitted would confirm that, and tell us what package is responsible.

The use flags for phonon changed somewhat recently. the `vlc` use flag was substituted by `minimal`

`media-libs/phonon minimal` added to package.use accomplishes the similar task of omitting vlc support.

The dependency conflict with phonon stems from vlc not supporting ffmpeg-6. In tandem with that use flag i've been configuring USE"-vlc" system global for several months until vlc development progresses.

If you were tempted to add minimal use flag to make.conf USE avoiding this could be wise if you have or are building a gui desktop workstation.
