It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the
dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be
installed simultaneously.

or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

 !!! Depgraph creation failed.

As far as i see, you guys synced in the middle of the kde-3.5.9 stabilisation process.
This behavior is quite normal; wait for the rest of the kde-3.5.9 packages becoming stable
and sync again according to the gentoo rsync netiquette (once a day)

Althought it is rather OT here I'm wondering why the stabilization can't be done with a single (csv) commit.

I guess this is a cvs limitation, dunno know that for sure.
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=222245#c3, Ingmar Vanhassel's comment talks for itself ;-)

At least a short news message on www.gentoo.org about the stabilisation process of kde-3.5.9 would have have been enough to prevent a lot of bug reports / troubles  :))
