44 Thanks Alan, after keywording:
45
46 =dev-qt/qtopengl-4.8.6-r1 ~amd64
47 =dev-qt/qtscript-4.8.6-r1 ~amd64
48 =dev-qt/qtsql-4.8.6-r1 ~amd64
49 =dev-qt/qtsvg-4.8.6-r1 ~amd64
50 =dev-qt/qttest-4.8.6-r1 ~amd64
51 =dev-qt/qttranslations-4.8.6-r1 ~amd64
52 =dev-qt/qtwebkit-4.8.6-r1 ~amd64
53 =dev-qt/qtxmlpatterns-4.8.6-r1 ~amd64
54
55 and adding abi_x86_32 on many packages that emerge asked me to, I am now able
56 to progress with 'emerge -a @preserved-rebuild'.
