15 That was a good idea, one that I ought to have thought of but didn't.
16 Unfortunately, it's made no difference at all. Emerge -upDvN world still
17 gives the same block:
18
19 [blocks B ] x11-libs/qt-core ("x11-libs/qt-core" is blocking
20 x11-libs/qt-4.3.3)
21 [blocks B ] <=x11-libs/qt-4.4.0_alpha:4 ("<=x11-libs/qt-4.4.0_alpha:4"
22 is blocking x11-libs/qt-script-4.4.2, x11-libs/qt-dbus-4.4.2,
23 x11-libs/qt-qt3support-4.4.2, x11-libs/qt-sql-4.4.2, x11-libs/qt-gui-4.4.2,

31 To recap, the only version of qt installed is qt-3.3.8-r4, and equery d
32 =x11-libs/qt-3.3.8-r4 returns 160 packages, all wanting =x11-libs/qt-3*.
33 Emerge seems to think I have a version4.* of qt installed, but I haven't
34 apart from the split e-builds I've just installed as above.

55 I could try removing qt-3.3.8-r4, but first I'd have to back up the whole
56 system against the probability of being unable to recover from the
57 resultant smashing of KDE 3.5.

65 Thanks for your help so far; I think though that I'll continue building the
66 clean system as well in case your optimism proves unfounded. At least with
67 two systems I can pursue both lines independently.
