Starting conditions: 1) KDE 3.2.2 installed and running well (all components) 2) run ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -v kde Many kde packages are upgraded properly, but when it comes to kdeadmin, kdenetwork, kdepim, and others after these (in order of dependencies), all attempted emerges fail with an error message that kdelibs3.2.3 must first be installed. Problem is, it _is_ already installed. Something apparently failed to inform the portage system about this. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. See Details 2. 3.

ok, you probably upgrade Qt somewhere in the middle. Just re-emerge kdelibs and all will be well.
