    (and 1 more with the same problem)



From qtcore-5.4.1.ebuild, both DEPEND and RDEPEND contain the following:

        icu? ( dev-libs/icu:= )

According to https://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/eapi/, this is supposed to mean that qtcore needs to be rebuilt if icu has a subslot change.  But instead, portage incorrectly believes qtcore requires exactly the version it was built against.  So emerge -avuDN @world fails.  I haven't found a work around.

Comment 2 Joe Harvell 2015-05-29 17:30:08 UTC
I worked around this problem as follows:

emerge -C dev-qt/gtcore:4 dev-qt/qtwebkit:4
emerge -1v dev-libs/icu dev-qt/qtcore dev-libs/libxml2 dev-libs/boost app-text/texlive

Note that after running the emerge -C command above I tried emerge -avuDN @world and it still failed for the same reason.
Comment 3 Marcin Szamotulski 2017-06-25 12:52:46 UTC
I got the same problem but with `dev-db/sqlite-3.17.0` and `dev-libs/icu-58.1-r1`:

```

    (and 11 more with the same problem)

  (dev-libs/icu-58.2-r1:0/58.2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by

    (and 6 more with the same problem)
```

```
emerge -C icu sqlite
emerge sqlite
```

Fixed that for me.  I am actually hit by this error regularly when I am installing a new version of chrome.

Comment 5 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2017-06-25 17:05:38 UTC
When you have conflicts involving built slot operator dependencies, you need to temporarily use --ignore-built-slot-operator-deps=y as described here:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Portage/FAQ#What_should_I_do_when_emerge_reports_a_lot_of_dependency_conflicts_involving_built_slot-operator_.28foo.2Fbar:X.2FY.3D.29_dependencies.3F

I always use --ask so that it will ask me to write autounmask configuration changes.
