That sounds familiar. I had some issue with PyQt recently. I've also had many |
| 17 |
issues with many packages recently, so I forget the details very quickly. |

I main underlying reason seems to be that Qt now comes as split-ebuilds and |
| 24 |
Peter has some monolithic ones installed. It's similar to migrating KDE to |
| 25 |
split-ebuilds, but on a much smaller scale. Unfortunately there's no easy way |
| 26 |
to automate this in an ebuild, that would require several new unrelated |
| 27 |
packages replacing one big one, portage doesn't support that kind of thing. |
| 28 |
So one has to do it manually, and deal with the resulting recdep-rebuild |
| 29 |
issues as well .... |
