27 But his emerge wants to install qt-4.8.1, added to the tree 29 Mar
28 2012 and 4.8.1-r1 went stable 20 May 2012. So while I agree he should
29 sync a tad more often, I don't think that is his real problem.
30
31 More likely he has Qt packages in world that are now dropped, or not
32 updated to 4.8.1. As well as bluedevil stuff in there as well.
33
34 It's looking more and more like the OP uses plain emerge to install
35 libs and such things, instead of the much better (by keeping them out
36 of world) "emerge -1"
