22 Something you are trying to emerge as part of the world update depends on
23 qt-4.3*, so it is trying to install 4.3 and 4.4, that's the cause of the
24 block. Blocks aren't always the result of installed packages, only
25 those that would be installed at the end of the emerge.

31 qt3 seems to be unrelated to this, but a full backup is unnecessary.
32 quickpkg qt3 before unmerging it. If the system goes TU you can emerge -k
33 it.
