13 That's only because one thing leads to another. All I wanted to do was to
14 install KDE-4; everything else I've tried has been to enable that. Of
15 course I do try to do only one thing at a time - I had half a lifetime of
16 debugging of one kind or another.
17
18 I started by running autounmask, as suggested by Neil B; that unmasked 81
19 packages. Then I tried to update world - 82 times: one for each other
20 package that needed unmasking. At the end of that I had all the packages
21 unmasked that were required for an upgrade to KDE-4, but I also had the
22 blocker that started this conversation. I've been trying to find the
23 conflict in dependencies ever since, with your help - thanks again.

25 Here's another titbit:

30 x11-libs/qscintilla-2.1-r1 (qt4? =x11-libs/qt-4.3*:4)
