There is a news item about the python upgrade that came out a month or so ago. Have you don't that upgrade yet? The last bit of your emerge output looks like what I saw when I hadn't done mine and it needed to be done. The news item was titled 'Python 3.14 to become the default on 2026-06-01'. The rest I'm not sure about. It looks like maybe you are running some packages stable and some unstable. That can be tricky. The way I do that is to add the category to package.accept.keyword so that they stay with the same versions. It looks like this: dev-qt/* kde-apps/* kde-frameworks/* kde-misc/* kde-plasma/* That way all qt packages are the same version. Same for the KDE packages. If you are unsure where a setting is for a package, someone posted this a while back and it comes in handy. grep -r <search term> /etc/portage If you replace the 'search term' above with say elogind, then it will list the path and name of file that contains any lines with elogind in it. You can use any package name, USE flag or whatever you need to find. It doesn't have to be related to emerge either. It works for anything you want to find. If none of that helps, maybe someone will come along with a better decoder ring for the output of emerge. There's a few on here that can figure out what the cause is, most all the time anyway. Dale :-) :-)
