Okay, I'm confused. I have the following emerge situations :

bash-2.05b# emerge --pretend --update qt

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild     U ] x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r3 [4.3.0-r2] 
[ebuild     U ] media-libs/lcms-1.11 [1.09] 
[blocks B     ] <kde-base/kdelibs-3.1.4 (from pkg x11-libs/qt-3.2.3-r1)
[ebuild     U ] x11-libs/qt-3.2.3-r1 [3.1.2-r4] 

bash-2.05b# emerge --pretend --update kdelibs

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild     U ] app-admin/fam-2.6.10-r1 [2.6.9-r3] 
[ebuild  N    ] media-libs/libmad-0.15.0b-r1  
[ebuild     U ] media-libs/audiofile-0.2.4 [0.2.3-r1] 
[ebuild     U ] x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r3 [4.3.0-r2] 
[ebuild     U ] media-libs/lcms-1.11 [1.09] 
[blocks B     ] <kde-base/kdelibs-3.1.4 (from pkg x11-libs/qt-3.2.3-r1)
[ebuild     U ] x11-libs/qt-3.2.3-r1 [3.1.2-r4] 
[ebuild     U ] dev-libs/glib-2.2.3 [2.2.2] 
[ebuild     U ] media-libs/libvorbis-1.0.1 [1.0-r2] 
[ebuild  N    ] media-libs/libid3tag-0.15.0b  
[ebuild     U ] kde-base/arts-1.1.4 [1.1.2] 
[ebuild     U ] dev-libs/libxml2-2.6.3 [2.5.11] 
[ebuild     U ] dev-libs/libxslt-1.1.1 [1.0.31] 
[ebuild     U ] media-libs/libart_lgpl-2.3.16 [2.3.12] 
[ebuild     U ] app-text/ghostscript-7.07.1-r1 [7.05.6-r3] 
[ebuild     U ] kde-base/kdelibs-3.1.4 [3.1.2-r1] 

So kdelibs blocks qt, but it wants to update qt? What am I supposed to
do? I'm confused...
