emerge e.g. outputs: ~x11-libs/qt-script-4.7.0aqua=,debug=] required by (x11-libs/qt-gui-4.7.0-r1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) I assume there is an opening [ missing. Reproducible: Always
A similar problem also seems to appear with non-useflag output: ~x11-libs/qt-test-4.7.04 required by (dev-util/qt-creator-2.0.1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) The highlight (red) was "4.7.0", with the "4" being grey. So I assume something else (i.e. "4") got added after the version without any separator.

We have a few different messages like this, produced by different pieces of code. Can you post the entire message, so that we can see which piece of code is producing it?

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. You may want to try a larger value of the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if that will solve this conflict automatically. For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy ">=x11-libs/cairo-1.10.0[-qt4]". !!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request: - x11-libs/cairo-1.10.0-r3 (Change USE: -qt4) (dependency required by "x11-libs/qt-gui-4.7.0-r1" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "x11-libs/qt-svg-4.7.0" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "dev-util/qt-creator-2.0.1" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "@selected") (dependency required by "@world" [argument])
This fixes it: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=47b391dca309e0f815b73b16a91083239f01444d
The is in 2.2.0_alpha5, but I'll leave this bug open until it's in an unmasked release.
This is fixed in 2.1.9.25.
