Just ran sync and now I have conflicts between use flags +accessibility, -accessibility on each package. Once again the devs dropped the ball on this. How can you have global USE flags when from recent adds to Portage use flags for individual packages we will have a portage.use that is a mile long and fragmented. Not only that, but it is getting more difficult to just update Portage with simple USE flags. It didn't use to be like this.

useflags on all qt splits need to be in sync - that's not that hard to do.

Hi prr56,
Ran into the same problem.
What "solved" it was to first set qt-gui use to -accessibility and emerge qt-svg with --nodeps.
Then I tried emerge -uDp world again and this time I had to set +accessibility for qt-gui.
Then it was ok.
I agree with your comments on the administration of more and more useflags in /etc/portage.
Gerard.

Thanks Gerard. I'll try those fixes. I just don't think we should jump through these hoops to update Portage. Sheesh.....

Before making the required changes, could you post the output of emerge --info ; nl -ba /etc/portage/package.use?

Rsynced my server this morning and all is right with the world. No conflicts now. Can mark this solved.

I've had problems recently with +/- accessibility USE flags on qt-gui and qt-svg. It took a removal of all the qt-* packages on my system, a clear out of all the autounmask cruft and a re-emerge of @world to resolve the problem.
