[Solved] Can't start VirtualBox, incompatible Qt library

After world update, VirtualBox stopped working.

Code: Select all

Qt FATAL: Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (6.8.3) with this library (6.9.1)
Aborted
I do have "6.9.1", but not quite sure where "6.8.3" is from.

Code: Select all

[I] dev-qt/qtbase
     Available versions:  (6) 6.9.1-r2(6/6.9.1)^t{gpkg} **6.9.9999(6/6.9.9999)*l^t **6.10.9999(6/6.10.9999)*l^t **6.9999(6/6.9999)*l^t

     Homepage:            https://www.qt.io/
     Description:         Cross-platform application development framework
I'd appreciate any suggestions on what to look for.

You have some other qt package that was not upgraded. What is the output of emerge --pretend --verbose $(eix '-I*' --format '<installedversions:NAMESLOT>' dev-qt/)?

Rebuilding qtbase and virtualbox fixed the issue.

Code: Select all

emerge -v qtbase
emerge -v virtualbox
Still not clear why it happened in the first place, but well, it's no longer a problem, so I'm going to leave it at that. Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts.
