For the record, I also got bitten by this "bug", so I'm posting here to alert future users. My python was updated to 2.5, I didn't see the notice to use python-updater and (IIRC) 'emerge --depclean' removed python-2.4 shortly thereafter. python-updater then exits with a "* Can't determine any previous Python version(s)" message. To get PyQt4 to merge, I had to re-emerge python-2.4, then run python-updater, which only then put PyQt4 in it's list and emerged it correctly.
"python-updater -o 2.4" will do the trick too.

Earlier versions of PyQt also have this "problem". Today I had trouble emerging PyQt-3.17.6 which is pulled in by amarok. It was easily solved by running python-updater.

Perhaps PyQT and PyKDE ( which dies the same way ) can be enhanced to produce this suggestion when this error occurs? I don't really "use" my python installation apart from portage, so not knowing it had been updated at some stage because I didn't happen to see the notice, leading to a "broken" configuration is sub-optimal. Perhaps when python is updated it can write a file that allows other things to know python has been updated, and other python-depending packages can notice that this file is present, and warn the user that python has been updated but python updater hasn't been run, and running python-updater can remove the file that triggers this warning?
