I ran into a problem (re)installing kdegraphics 3.5.9: * checking miscfile checksums ;-) ... [ ok ] * This package requires app-text/poppler-bindings compiled with Qt 3.x support. * Please reemerge app-text/poppler-bindings with USE="qt3". * * ERROR: kde-base/kdegraphics-3.5.9 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called pkg_setup * kdegraphics-3.5.9.ebuild, line 45: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * die "Please reemerge app-text/poppler-bindings with USE="qt3"." * The die message: * Please reemerge app-text/poppler-bindings with USE="qt3". I have re-emerged poppler-bindings, and it picks up qt 4 just fine. I seem to remember I have turned on the qt3support use flag at some point, but the package qt-qt3support is not installed (and masked).

qt-4.x with USE="qt3support" doesn't replace a full qt3 installation, it only adds a compatibility layer to ease porting of applications to qt4. You really need to (re-)emerge poppler-bindings with qt3 in your USE flags. On another note I'd suggest using kdegraphics-meta since there won't be any monolothic packages for 3.5.10 anymore which will cause you some hassle with upgrading to it once it goes stable.
