Description M 2008-10-02 18:37:08 UTC

If you first install qt-gui without the qt3support USE flag, and then try to compile qt-qt3support, qt-qt3support will die (as expected) saying qt-gui needs the qt3support USE flag. Now for the bug; when you try to recompile qt-gui with the qt3support USE flag, it will depend on qt-qt3support (which depends on qt-gui with said USE flag). 

I solved this by unmerging qt-gui and then emerging it again (rather than simply remerging).

qt-gui version: 4.4.2
qt-qt3support version: 4.4.2

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile qt-gui without the qt3support USE flag.
2. Try compiling qt-qt3support (this will die, continue).
3. Compile qt-gui with the qt3support USE flag.
