It seems that kde-base/pykde4 package is broken. It's checking for additional versions of Python to install modules, but not handling errors, so compilation/configuration fails at checking stage on Python 3 because there is no SIP module. -- Found PythonInterp: /usr/bin/python3.2 -- Found Python executable: /usr/bin/python3.2 -- Found Python version: 3.2 -- Found Python library: /usr/lib/libpython3.2.so Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/apps/cmake/modules/FindSIP.py", line 8, in <module> import sipconfig ImportError: No module named sipconfig CMake Error at /usr/share/apps/cmake/modules/FindSIP.cmake:56 (MESSAGE): Could not find SIP Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:28 (FIND_PACKAGE) I think this error should be ignored if it's not default version of Python, and compilation should be moving on. # eselect python list Available Python interpreters: [1] python2.6 [2] python2.7 * [3] python3.1 [4] python3.2 Many packages depends on this version of pykde4, so i can't update my operating system.

Are you sure to have sip lib for python 3.2 ? Try python-updater.
Actually, the question is "are you sure you've read *and* followed postinst note in sip ebuild ?".
Try rebuilding sip and reopen this bug if you still have problems
