I don't remember seeing this before. > I replied elsewhere in the thread about my hunch where your problem is, but just to clarify something here: when there is a slot conflict, emerge will print the dependents causing the conflict. You've only pasted the first message here, which is saying that kde-frameworks/kglobalaccel-5.85.0-r1 depends on =kde-frameworks/kcoreaddons-5.85*:5.
Below this line, there is probably another one telling you about a different package that depends on a mutually exclusive version of kcoreaddons. So the "=" here is only telling you what one of the packages in conflict depends on.
