It shouldn't.

kopete ssl wants qca-tls-1
qca-tls-1 want qca-1
qca-1 want qt:3

what does emerge -pt kopete gives?

This is weird. Now it just wants to reinstall kopete, adding the ssl USE
flag.

Before I put "kde-base/kopete -crypt -ssl" into /etc/portage/package.use,
it wanted to install those qt4 packages; now it doesn't. In between, what I
did was to unmerge the qt4 packages, put that entry into packages.use and
reinstall kopete without them.

Something odd is going on again.

I suspect kopete-4.x got pulled into your emerge and it slipped past your
radar. Does

grep -r "kopete" /etc/portage/*

reveal anything about kopete-4?

Quite possible.

No; kopete isn't mentioned at all in /etc/portage/* or /etc/make.conf.

But then OP should see kdelibs-4 installed (?)

After reading a post here today I decided to investigate why I have several

packages. This strikes me as somewhat odd.


For the moment I've specified kopete -ssl in portage.use and removed all the
qt-4 packages.


Does anyone here know why we have this dependency of a kde-3 package on
qt-4?


As others mentioned, there isn't such a dependency in kopete (or any
other package that is an official part of KDE3). Can you emerge
gentoolkit and then do:


equery depends qt-gui:4

This will show which packages on your system are pulling-in qt-gui-4.x
(replace "qt-gui:4" with any other qt package that got pulled in.)


There have been some ebuilds in the past that incorrectly used an
unslotted or unversioned dependency on Qt. If you run across one, this
should be reported as a bug since Qt3 and Qt4 are totally incompatible.

As I said (or tried to say) on Monday, whatever was causing kopete to call
in qt:4 has disappeared. Perhaps I was doing something stupid (I'm having
to face that possibility more often these days).

I had the same problem this morning.

Adding >=app-crypt/qca-2.0.0-r2 to /etc/portage/package.mask
solved it for me, since kopete wanted qca and qca-2 wanted qt4.
