| My system has both qt-4.1.4 and qt-3.3.6 installed and portage wants to upgrade both of them. Is it normal or desired to have 2 versions installed simultaneously? |

| Quote: | | With Portage different versions of a single package can coexist on a system. While other distributions tend to name their package to those versions (like freetype and freetype2) Portage uses a technology called SLOTs. An ebuild declares a certain SLOT for its version. Ebuilds with different SLOTs can coexist on the same system. For instance, the freetype package has ebuilds with SLOT="1" and SLOT="2" |

You should check if you have any programs that depend on qt-4. I myself don't use it, so I have the qt4 useflag unset and have masked >=x11-libs/qt-4.0 in /etc/portage/package.mask - that way I can still do a deep world update without pulling in this (for now) unwanted package.
