Emerge conflict. I can't decode it. A kdeutils-meta dependency seems to be the trigger.

Howdy,

Usually I can poke and prod until I find a path around blocks like 
this.  I've tried that and I just can't seem to find a way to thread the 
needle on this one.  I do run a mix of stable and unstable.  KDE and 
some GUI packages are unstable but I do my best to keep things related 
to booting stable.  I started doing my usual emerge -auDN world but it 
complained that because of kde-apps/kdeutils-meta, it was skipping some 
packages.  It didn't say anything else except it was unsatisfied 
dependencies and was being skipped.  So I tried to emerge just that to 
see if it would give more clues.  It outputed more info.  Sadly the 
little ^^^^^^^ things don't help, me either since they don't line up 
correctly in Konsole. I have backtrack set to 500.  First the emerge 
output and then some config file info. The encoded part first.  Sorry it 
is long but I added the -t option just in case it might help.  The list 
of problems is the longer part tho.



root@Gentoo-1 / # emerge -auDN kde-apps/kdeutils-meta

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

This is my package.keyword file.  I tend to do whole catagories to make 
it easier for KDE, qt and such.  As new packages are added or removed, 
emerge adjusts automatically.

I've scanned the list in the problem part of the output and most 
everything in there is keyworded already.  I don't see anything else 
that I can mark in a way to make it work past the conflict.  I also 
don't see any USE flag conflicts either.  Is this something that just 
can't be worked around at this time?  Am I missing something? The only 
thing that is really stuck, smplayer.  There is only one version of it 
in the tree.

Anyone have thoughts on this?  Maybe have a decoder ring to figure this 
out?  If needed, I can post the output of the original emerge -auDN 
world but it doesn't help much.  The start of this post pretty says all 
it says.

Thanks for any ideas you can come up with.

Dale
