Created attachment 758620 [details] emerge conflict report Trying to update to latest KDE I get a huge confilict I cannot work out how to solve, see attachment
I ran into this issue too. This thread https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-user/message/d3ac3b7b2c9c556f44a83facf5cb2d98 implied that a USE flag may be the culprit, and indeed setting USE="-handbook" seemed to resolve the dependency conflicts. Why that should be so, I can't fathom.
For now, more backtracking will likely help.

Why that should be so, I can't fathom. I am also having the problem. Setting the USE flag -handbook did /not/ solve it for me.

Please see my backtracking comments and try e.g. --backtrack=200 and share the output if it fails.
Adding --backtrack=200 solved the problem.
--backtrack=200 worked for me too, thanks.
Nothing to fix here for kde proj. If you want to continue here, file the bug against portage.
