Thanks Nikos,

The elogs do not report anything.  The old lib was removed by the ebuild.  
This is all that is left:

# ls -la /usr/lib64/libicuuc.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      16 Apr 28 12:34 /usr/lib64/libicuuc.so -> 
libicuuc.so.51.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      16 Apr 28 12:34 /usr/lib64/libicuuc.so.51 -> 
libicuuc.so.51.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1514040 Apr 28 12:34 /usr/lib64/libicuuc.so.51.1


'emerge -1aDv @preserved-rebuild' or revdep-rebuild did not rebuild anything.


Manually trying to rebuild dolphin fails as I reported in my first message.

Typically portage would *not* remove the previous 
/usr/lib64/libicuuc.so.49.1.2 version and then recommend to run revdep-rebuild 
--library <blah-blah> && rm <blah-blah>.  This did not happen this time.

I've rebuilt anything that linked to /usr/lib64/libicuuc.so.51.1, but the 
problem remains that I can't remerge dolphin.
