Hello :)
Without reading the hole listing, I think that you have do some stuff
manually: there is for example a circular dependency between qt-phonon
and phonon. Actually its more of an anti-dependency ;) They can't be
installed at the same time.
In /usr/portage/x11-libs/qt-phonon/qt-phonon-4.5.1.ebuild you find:
DEPEND="... !media-sound/phonon ..."
SLOT="4"
In /usr/portage/media-sound/phonon/phonon-4.3.1.ebuild you find:
RDEPEND="... !x11-libs/qt-phonon:4 ..."
Now try to look at the dependency tree (using emerges "-t" option) to
see what pulls in phonon and what pulls in qt-phonon. Maybe one of it is
not needed or has unneeded USE-flags
* Maybe change some USE-flags for QT or KDE.
* Try to emerge one of the two packages manually (using "-1" option),
and see what happens to your update-world.
Sorry... just generic clues...
Bye,
Daniel
