So… you’re trying to merge a package but get weird blockers like

this means that new Qt libraries are available and portage is trying to upgrade only *a part* of the ones you have installed.
this is bad because mixed versions of Qt packages (like qt-core-4.5.1 alongside qt-svg-4.4.2) can result in unexpected breakage.
unfortunately, at the moment this error is the only way we can prevent version mixing.
to get past the error, you can:
emerge -avDuN world- updating world tells portage to upgrade all Qt packages in one run
emerge -av1 `eix -I --only-names x11-libs/qt-`- if you don’t want to upgrade everything, you can use this command to upgrade all the installed Qt libraries
if you still have problems, don’t hesitate to comment and I’ll do my best to help 
# eix -I ?only-names x11-libs/qt-
regcomp(?only-names): Invalid preceding regular expression
that ? should be — (2 hyphens)
interestingly enough, firefox turns that into a dash… sigh…
eix -I --only-names x11-libs/qt-I’ve fixed it in the post as well, thanks!
My problem is:
# emerge -av1 `eix -I –only-names x11-libs/qt-`
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
Calculating dependencies… done!

For more information about Blocked Packages, please refer to the following
section of the Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook (architecture is irrelevant):
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?full=1#blocked
you seem to have qt-* entries in your world file… can you check your /var/lib/portage/world file (with caution) and remove anything x11-libs/qt* ?
also if you have the qt meta package ( x11-libs/qt ) you should remove it and try again.
[...] to mix all the other qt-*-4.5.2 packages with qt-gui-4.5.1 (and its 4.5.1 dependencies) and as I’ve mentioned before, this is not [...]
I ran into this bug and largely thanks to this page removed qt-* from world and was able to take other steps getting past the blockage. Thank you!
This might be considered grave digging but that won’t stop me. It might be worth to add (even though it’s pretty straightforward) that if
emerge -av1 `eix -I –only-names x11-libs/qt-`
failes to do anything at all you probably don’t have eix installed and you need to run
emerge eix
eix-update
before emerging.
