emerge --info =dev-libs/icu-59.1

The latest update of dev-libs/icu-59.1 cannot be successfully installed with dev-qt/qtcore-4.8.7-r4 ebuild due to a limitation on icu version <59 in the qt ebuild.

Comment 1 G.Wolfe Woodbury 2018-01-15 01:34:20 UTC

typo: qtcore-4.8.7-r3 is the blocking version

Not a bug, but a feature. Qt4 is completely broken by it.
