First, I would suggest checking to see if you have qt-4.3.3 installed (from the
line above, this looks to be the case), and if so, unmerge it - it is masked by
portage, anyway. If you do have the older version on your system, it would
block the new version and vice versa.
If that works, then great. If not, you may need to put at least
'app-text/poppler-bindings' in your package.keywords file, so you can pull in a
newer version.

Chris

Chris,
Indeed, I do have 4.3.3 installed and it is masked. I guess this
must be one of those cases where the devs decided they didn't like
something they used to like as I didn't do anything to unmask it
myself.
I removed it and the blockages for emerge system have gone.
Cheers,
Mark

As an additional benefit, since the update to the new qt4 libraries the

Since qt has been move from meta-package to separate split packages, you should
unemerge qt-4.3* and then emerge the split packages. Having split packages is a
great implementation ,so dont shoot the developers.

This link was great help for me. Told me everything and how to read the
blocker. So I did:
#emerge -avC qt-4.3.3
#emerge -DuavN world (This installed qt-4.4.2)
But now I do have a problem. When I run
#emerge --depclean -av
I receive the following output:
[snip]
>>> These are the packages that would be unmerged:
What did I miss? This results in an infinite circle of unmerging and

In your /etc/make.conf file do you have the following line?
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps y"
You can do this on the emerge command line if you choose. See man
emerge for info on doing that.
I *think* the standard answer about why this happens is that
--depclean and a basic emerge don't search all the dependencies
exactly the same. If you add the --with-bdeps y option then they do.
Anyway, I don't seem to run into this much using this in make.conf.
Hope this helps,
Mark

+1 I added that to my make.conf a while ago and it helped with a lot of
this sort of thing. Wonder if it should be a default thing?

Could also be that you don't have slots defined for some of those in
your world? for example do you have qt or qt:3 etc?

I don't appear to have anything qt related in my world file.
The reason I added that a while back was not related to qt but was doing
a circle thing with --depclean wanting to remove packages and then -uvDN
wanting to put them back again. Adding the --with-bdeps y fixed the
problem and I haven't had the problem since.
Hence the question, should this be a default option? I'm not the only
one that has ran into this.
