What are those other two ? Check '--verbose-conflicts'.

grep icu /var/lib/portage/world grep icu /etc/portage/package.mask nothing. emerge -Cpv icu dev-libs/icu selected: 51.1 protected: none omitted: none portage hint with red color, it emphasis >= and the 49:0 3.6:0 3.8:1-r1:0 This looks like a non sense, portage wants icu-3.6 as minimum version and then complain it cannot upgrade 51.1 to 51.2-r1
OK, try a longer line, one listing all of those packages, then 'emerge -1pv icu raptor qtcore boost sqlite libxml2 harfbuzz webkit-gtk:3'. There might be a different conflict there and portage is simply misrepesenting it.
Sorry i couldn't test anything anymore. My world update was stuck because of this blocker, and i get bored to wait for an answer, so i fix it. Here's a log for ones interrest, i wasn't about to post that 38mib file but as 7z has done wonders on it, i could. I don't know the ratio but that's a kickass one :)
Created attachment 365876 [details] out of portage with --debug flag
