13 Okay - so I ran "emerge --depclean -a" and got the below.
14 I tried running "emerge world -vuDNa" as specified, but that didn't resolve it either.
15
16 I tried looking in the world file (/var/lib/portage/world) but didn't find any entries that felt safe to remove.
17 So, how do I resolve?
18
19 TIA,

23 Calculating dependencies... done!
24 * Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to
25 * the following required packages not being installed:
26 *
27 * ~x11-libs/qt-test-4.4.2 pulled in by:
28 * x11-libs/qt-4.4.2
29 *
30 * ~x11-libs/qt-sql-4.4.2 pulled in by:
31 * x11-libs/qt-4.4.2
32 *
33 * ~x11-libs/qt-webkit-4.4.2 pulled in by:
34 * x11-libs/qt-4.4.2
35 *
36 * ~x11-libs/qt-assistant-4.4.2 pulled in by:
37 * x11-libs/qt-4.4.2
38 *
39 * ~x11-libs/qt-gui-4.4.2 pulled in by:
40 * x11-libs/qt-4.4.2
41 *
42 * ~x11-libs/qt-xmlpatterns-4.4.2 pulled in by:
43 * x11-libs/qt-4.4.2
44 *
45 * ~dev-libs/poppler-0.10.7 pulled in by:
46 * virtual/poppler-0.10.7
47 *
48 * ~x11-libs/qt-opengl-4.4.2 pulled in by:
49 * x11-libs/qt-4.4.2
50 *
51 * ~x11-libs/qt-qt3support-4.4.2 pulled in by:
52 * x11-libs/qt-4.4.2
53 *
54 * ~x11-libs/qt-dbus-4.4.2 pulled in by:
55 * x11-libs/qt-4.4.2
56 *
57 * ~x11-libs/qt-svg-4.4.2 pulled in by:
58 * x11-libs/qt-4.4.2
59 *
60 * ~x11-libs/qt-script-4.4.2 pulled in by:
61 * x11-libs/qt-4.4.2
62 *
63 * Have you forgotten to run `emerge --update --newuse --deep world` prior
64 * to depclean? It may be necessary to manually uninstall packages that no longer
65 * exist in the portage tree since it may not be possible to satisfy their
66 * dependencies. Also, be aware of the --with-bdeps option that is documented
67 * in `man emerge`.
