10 Instead of unmerging stuff without mercy, taking a sledgehammer to the problem
11 and generally acting like a Windows user, I recommend you read the output and
12 understand what is going on.

14 It clearly says that your *current* version of udev which is less than 114 is
15 blocking sane-backends and libgphoto. So, merge udev separately:
16
17 emerge -av1 udev
18
19 there's no need for udev to go in world, it's already in system. Then emerge
20 world and it will probably work (after you deal with qt that is, but another
21 poster told you how to do that)
