If this is likely to occur with other packages too then it can waste a great deal of time and contribute more configuration files to wade through. I have not noticed this problem at all with previous portage versions including 2.0.47-r6 although cannot say for certain that it did not exist previously. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Make sure kde-libs and qt (or kde3.1 in my case)are installed and updated. 2.With portage 2.0.47-r7 installed do 'emerge -vp koncd' Actual Results: The pretend output shall try to upgrade kdelibs and qt from an older version that it thinks is installed. This takes a lot more time than necessary. Expected Results: It should have only attempted to emerge koncd and recognised that kdelibs and qt are already up to date and left them untouched.

Looks like slot differences to me. It's not updating 3.1, it's updating the 2.3/2.2 slots. If you still feel things aren't right, reopen. qt-2.3.2-r1 [3.1.0-r3] kdelibs-2.2.2a-r1 [3.1-r2] ls /var/db/pkg/*/qt* ls /var/db/pkg/*/kdelibs*
