I just synced (Timestamp of tree: Thu, 03 Jan 2013 18:30:01 +0000) and suddenly portage wants to downgrade from 50* to 49*: Calculating dependencies... done! [binary UD ] dev-libs/icu-49.1.2 [50.1-r2] USE="-debug -doc -examples -static-libs" 0 kB I'm guessing this has to do with a subslot issue, not that I totally understand subslots, but it appears that the version I have installed is not subslotted while the other 50* versions are (and 50.1.1 is hard masked). # equery m icu * dev-libs/icu [gentoo] Herd: openoffice (openoffice@gentoo.org) Maintainer: None specified Upstream: None specified Homepage: http://www.icu-project.org/ Location: /var/portage/dev-libs/icu Keywords: 49.1.2:0: alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 s390 sh sparc x86 ~amd64-fbsd ~mips ~x86-fbsd Keywords: 50.1-r1:0/50: Keywords: 50.1-r2:0: Keywords: 50.1.1:0/50: ~alpha ~amd64 ~amd64-fbsd ~arm ~hppa ~ia64 ~mips ~ppc ~ppc64 ~s390 ~sh ~sparc ~x86 ~x86-fbsd Portage 2.2.0_alpha149 (default/linux/amd64/10.0, gcc-4.7.2, glibc-2.16.0, 3.6.8-gentoo x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-3.6.8-gentoo-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Quad_CPU_Q9550_@_2.83GHz-with-gentoo-2.2 Timestamp of tree: Thu, 03 Jan 2013 18:30:01 +0000 ld GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.23.1 app-shells/bash: 4.2_p42 dev-lang/python: 2.7.3-r3, 3.2.3-r2 dev-util/pkgconfig: 0.27.1 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.2 sys-apps/openrc: 0.11.8 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.6 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.69 sys-devel/automake: 1.10.3, 1.12.6 sys-devel/binutils: 2.23.1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.7.2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.8 sys-devel/libtool: 2.4.2 sys-devel/make: 3.82-r5::gnome sys-kernel/linux-headers: 3.7 (virtual/os-headers) sys-libs/glibc: 2.16.0 Repositories: gentoo marduk gnome ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA AdobeFlash-10.3" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -g0 -march=nocona -mtune=corei7-avx -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/gnupg/qualified.txt /usr/share/openvpn/easy-rsa" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="${EPREFIX}/etc/gconf /etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/dconf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -g0 -march=nocona -mtune=corei7-avx -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/var/portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS=" --autounmask=n --binpkg-respect-use=y --buildpkg-exclude virtual/* --jobs --keep-going --misspell-suggestions=n --oneshot --quiet-build --quiet-unmerge-warn --usepkg " FCFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs buildpkg config-protect-if-modified distlocks fixlafiles merge-sync news noinfo notitles parallel-fetch parallel-install protect-owned sandbox sfperms skiprocheck strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch xattr" FFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org" LANG="en_US.utf8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" MAKEOPTS="-j5 -l9.0" PKGDIR="/var/portage/packages" PORTAGE_COMPRESS="" PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS="" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --human-readable --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/var/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/var/lib/layman/marduk /var/lib/layman/gnome" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="acpi aes amd64 aperfmperf apic arat arch_perfmon avx bts cjk clflush cmov constant_tsc cx16 cx8 de ds_cpl dtes64 dtherm dts eagerfpu epb ept erms est f16c flexpriority fpu fsgsbase fxsr ht ida introspection lahf_lm lm mca mce mmx monitor msr mtrr multilib nls nonstop_tsc nopl nx pae pam pat pbe pcid pclmulqdq pdcm pebs pge pln pni popcnt pse pse36 pts rdrand rdtscp rep_good sep smep smx ss sse sse2 sse4_1 sse4_2 ssse3 syscall tm tm2 tpr_shadow tsc tsc_deadline_timer unicode utf8 vme vmx vnmi vpid x2apic xsave xsaveopt xtopology xtpr" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="*" APACHE2_MODULES="authz auth_digest authn_file group_file dav dav_fs dir authz_groupfile mime" APACHE2_MPMS="event" CAMERAS="*" CURL_SSL="openssl" DRACUT_MODULES="lvm" ELIBC="glibc" FFTOOLS="*" GRUB_PLATFORMS="pc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LINGUAS="ja" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_2" QEMU_SOFTMMU_TARGETS="i386 x86_64" QEMU_USER_TARGETS="i386 x86_64" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby19" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="intel i915 i965 modesetting" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, USE_PYTHON

Strange indeed. What version of qt-core do you have installed ? Perhaps you can look into bug #449250, since that seems to be the latest change in icu. I can't reproduce the error over here (similar setup I'd say, but who knows ...) Perhaps it's an portage-2.2 issue - have you tried downgrading ?

I don't have any qt* packages installed. Bug #449250 seems to be about run-time issues. I'm not experiencing any issues with actual packages, just with portage wanting to downgrade icu for no apparent reason. I tried downgrading to portage-2.1 but it didin't seem to make any difference.
Does this command work as expected? emerge -pv =dev-libs/icu-50.1-r2 For reference, here's what I'm seeing locally: [ebuild rR ] dev-libs/icu-50.1-r2:0/50 [50.1-r2:0/0] [ebuild rR ] dev-db/sqlite-3.7.15.1:3 [ebuild rR ] dev-libs/libxml2-2.9.0-r1:2 [ebuild rR ] dev-libs/boost-1.52.0-r5 [ebuild rR ] net-libs/webkit-gtk-1.10.2-r300:3 Those are automatic rebuilds, triggered because somebody apparently bumped the sub-slot of dev-libs/icu-50.1-r2.
*sigh* Well I didn't want to be *that* guy, but apparently I am. It turns out that on 18 November I had masked dev-libs/icu:0/50 do to bug #439698. I'd completely forgotten about it and it's been sitting there ever since. I'm not sure why it only got triggered by webkit-gtk, but nevertheless, removing the masks now wants to rebuild dev-libs/icu-50.1-r2 (and some other packages). Sorry for crying wolf.
