That sounds familiar. I had some issue with PyQt recently. I've also had many issues with many packages recently, so I forget the details very quickly. > I do not know how to solve this, but did not yet try hard to do so.

Yet :) I main underlying reason seems to be that Qt now comes as split-ebuilds and Peter has some monolithic ones installed. It's similar to migrating KDE to split-ebuilds, but on a much smaller scale. Unfortunately there's no easy way to automate this in an ebuild, that would require several new unrelated packages replacing one big one, portage doesn't support that kind of thing. So one has to do it manually, and deal with the resulting recdep-rebuild issues as well .... -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
