[gentoo-user] Blocking object does not exist...

Hi,

HAPPY NEW YEAR ! :O)


I have got a problem while updateing my Gentoo-Linux-box:

Witzh this command:
emerge Net-Daemon PlRPC DBI rxvt-unicode gstreamer e2fsprogs-libs nano e2fsprogs zynaddsubfx sox boost autounmask cmake smplayer kdelibs wxGTK firehol xulrunner xorg-server vlc


I got (beside a list of updateable/new package) the following warning:

[blocks B ] x11-libs/qt-core ("x11-libs/qt-core" is blocking x11-libs/qt-4.3.3)
[blocks B ] <=x11-libs/qt-4.4.0_alpha:4 ("<=x11-libs/qt-4.4.0_alpha:4" is blocking x11-libs/qt-script-4.4.2, x11-libs/qt-dbus-4.4.2, x11-libs/qt-qt3support-4.4.2, x11-libs/qt-sql-4.4.2, x11-libs/qt-gui-4.4.2, x11-libs/qt-svg-4.4.2, x11-libs/qt-test-4.4.2, x11-libs/qt-core-4.4.2, x11-libs/qt-opengl-4.4.2)

Due to that I decided to do a

emerge -C qt-core

which was answered with:

--- Couldn't find 'qt-core' to unmerge.


How cabn I solve the problem to get blocking packages, which do not
exist?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Kind regards,
Meino Cramer

Amen to the confusing part. It almost always stumps me. I'm glad the
unstable portage sort of deals with this itself, so far at least.
