I believe that the dependency of kaddressbook on akregator is wrong. guilherme root # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -pvt kaddressbook These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

kaddressbook needs a library from akregator, but only at compile time. I removed the dependency.
