"emerge =kde-base/khotkeys-3.5.1" failed because it did not emerge libXrandr, libXcursor and libXinerama first. A workaround is to do "emerge libXrandr libXcursor libXinerama =kde-base/khotkeys-3.5.1" but that should of course have been automatic. # emerge =kde-base/khotkeys-3.5.1 -pv These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Uh the error message would have helped. Anyway I'll see to fix the missing deps.
qt has all three of those deps in it. so this seems invalid to me.

Qt has those dependencies and khotkeys depends on Qt (maybe indirectly). Therefore khotkeys should not depend on libXrandr, libXcursor and libXinerama directly. The problem was caused by a broken system where Qt was installed but did not have all it's dependencies installed after a migration to modular X.
