It's a little more complex than that; you need to set up an overlay (look for docs on www.gentoo.org), add the patch to the files directory, modify the ebuild to include the patch in src_unpack(), rebuild the digest, then emerge again. An easier way to do it as a one-off process is to: first save Andre's patch from bug #133301 to somewhere # ebuild /usr/portage/x11-libs/qt/qt-3.3.6-r1.ebuild unpack # cd /var/tmp/portage/qt-3.3.6-r1/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.6 # patch -p1 < [patch saved from bug] # cd # ebuild /usr/portage/x11-libs/qt/qt-3.3.6-r1.ebuild merge just note that if you emerge qt-3.3.6-r1 again later, the change will be lost - but you're not likely to do that soon. > 2.

Because you still have lots of stuff built that needs it - if merging qt4 deleted qt3, everything you have that links to qt3 (i.e. all of KDE!) would fail to run because qt3 would be missing. > 3.
