Hello All,
revdep-rebuild failed on my PC. I am not sure if problem is related to QT
conflict. Does anyone know how to resolve it? Thanks!

The revdep-rebuild output is here:

For more information about Blocked Packages, please refer to the following
section of the Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook (architecture is irrelevant):

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?full=1#blocked

*
* revdep-rebuild failed to emerge all packages.
* you have the following choices:
* - If emerge failed during the build, fix the problems and re-run revdep-rebuild.
* - Use /etc/portage/package.keywords to unmask a newer version of the package.
* (and remove 5_order.rr to be evaluated again)
* - Modify the above emerge command and run it manually.
* - Compile or unmerge unsatisfied packages manually,
* remove temporary files, and try again.
* (you can edit package/ebuild list first)
*
* To remove temporary files, please run:
* rm /var/cache/revdep-rebuild/*.rr
* Found some broken files that weren't associated with known packages
* The broken files are:
* /usr/kde/3.5/lib/libkscan.la
* /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/_lcms.la

[Hwoarang]

Please keyword all qt modules. It seems to me that you don't have *all* qt modules on package.keywords file and this is way it is pulling both 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 packages

[lenk]

This is a fresh ~x86 install. Why do I need qt3support anyways?

[Hwoarang]

Yes qt3support is required for kde-4.2.4. qt3support is not directly related to Qt:3. It is an API which supports Qt3 eclasses on Qt4.

And yes, pinentry[qt3] is the Qt:3 version of pinentry and this is why it requires Qt:3. Dont confuse qt3support with Qt:3

[lenk]

Hwoarang: Thanks. I always thought qt3support can replace qt3 altogether.

Well, I was performing a new install on HTPC, and I started off with "emerge kdebase-startkde." Then I run into the 4.5.1-r9999 fiasco. I accept keywords (usually ~amd64) on all of my boxes:

[appofice]

Thx gcasillo i did mask the qt-modules like you say and now it work
If i didn't read your post i would have given up to the new qt.
Also i think is best to unmerge kde and qt


emerge -C $(qlist -IC qt) or emerge -C qt:4 and emerge -C $(qtlist -IC kde) with some other package that don't appear with qlist

Mask packages

[njcwotx]

I ran this..

[account]

I got this and have no idea where to start...

[njcwotx]

[account]

[njcwotx]

if you are reinstalling qt-core, likely it will only pull in the required packages when you do that too I would think. I skimmed the other posts above and there are some other suggestions out there in the preceeding posts concerning a few of the packages that you can try. In my case I was rebuilding the world and it came out on the other end clean.

Interesting... Yesterday I ran python-updater on my Desktop because portage told me so (upgrading python 2.5 -> 2.6), and among the packages that were reemerged were all the qt packages. But this time portage was able to solve the blocks itself, I got all lowercase b's and portage did uninstall every qt package before emerging the new one - nice. I wonder why it worked this way and not when doing an 'emerge -avu qt-core' ... I guess some Python/Qt package is the culprit, pulling in dependencies that cause all those blocks.

I will try that on my laptop too.

[Kaddy]

Looks like this issue still exists, running python-updater now, 109 updates.

[account]

Yeah i got quite a list too. But in the end portage was able to solve the blocks automatically and i guess most of these packages had to be rebuilt in either case, so no harm done.

[Dr Croubie]

OK, so i've just gotten the same problem, i don't know why i'm so far behind everyone else on this, maybe because i'm AMD64 and it's just become stable or something.

anyway, i've been happily running USE="-qt3 -qt3support +qt4" forever in my make.conf with no problems. I tried my usual daily
>emerge -uDNva world
this morning, and get all the weird blocks first telling me to enable +qt3support for a few packages, then disable it and whatever.

So I found this thread and read through it, and tried the
> equery l qt | grep qt- | xargs emerge -C
fix, and yes, it unmerged all of the qt-4.5.1*. But
>emerge -uDNva world
still gave me weird blocks, such as:
>qt-qt3support depends on
>libkonq depends on
>kde-base depends on
>world
(or something like that, running from memory here)
but then:
>equery u libkonq
gives
> - - debug
> - - kdeprefix
> - - test
and doesn't say a thing about why libkonq is pulling qt3support in, if it doesn't even use the qt3support USE flag.
(ok, so 'equery d qt-qt3support' lists practically every kde(4.2) package on my system, so they obviously need x11-libs/qt-qt3support (package))

So anyway, i just tried editing my make.conf to USE="-qt3 +qt3support +qt4" and
>emerge -uDNva world
works perfectly fine now, emerging the 9 or so packages i just unmerged to version 4.5.2.

So one question is: Why does USE="qt3support" in make.conf fix everything, when individual +qt3support in /etc/portage/package.use doesn't?

Even

but having each of those 4 individually set in /etc/portage/package.use doesn't work. figure that one out. either somewhere in my settings i'm manually overriding something with -qt3support without knowing it (afaik using package.use was the second most importatnt behind command-line usage, so how could i override it?), or the other option is there's some package requiring qt3support but not reporting it to either portage or to equery.

oh well, my system works now,
> emerge -uDNva world ; emerge -cp ; revdep-rebuild
all give me a nice "nothing to do", so i'm happy, but still somewhat confused as to wtf happened this morning...

My system is in a pretty bad shape. I have okular and a woefully lagging k3b which drag in all sort of dependencies. The family of KDE apps is so large and it appears that keeping everything on the same level (and dependency) is very, very difficult. Will keep a close eye on further suggestions in this thread as I've run out of ideas.

Arrgh, this is a mess.

What I had to do to get this current mess in a stable state. I pity anyone trying to install a stable amd64 profile right now because out of the box, it won't work.

package.keywords (plus all the kde ~amd64 stuff)

I had a slightly simpler fix than fudge:

note: other than listed below, I have NO other reference to qt in /etc/portage/package.*
I also do NOT have any qt* USE flags in /etc/make.conf

1. emerge --unmerge <all qt packages>

2. /etc/portage/package.use

This is really messed up. How can the qt-* 4.5.2 packages be marked stable on amd64? I have no kde or qt-* packages keyworded and want to keep the number of unstable packages I use to a minimum. Even so, I kept getting irreconcilable slot conflicts no matter what I did. The only way out of this was to mask all >=qt-*-4.5.2, unmerge all the qt-* packages and then re-merge qt-core. In other words, a Royal PTA.
