I can't make sense of this : surely, '5.85*' includes '5.85.0',
so the requirement sb fulfilled. I don't remember seeing this before.

Is this the complete message about the conflicts? If there is nothing

You have another package that wants a kde-frameworks/kcoreaddons < 5.85.0,
so you should look for that package. If you have equery installed,
then run 'equery d kde-frameworks/kcoreaddons' :
you will get a list of potential packages.

That makes no sense : the pkg cited is Kglobalaccel-5.85.0-r1 ,
which isn't going to want an earlier version of another KDE pkg.
The emphasised value is '=', not '<'.

Someone else offered :

Is this the complete message about the conflicts ?

No : there's a long list of the same msgs, but for other KDE pkgs.

If there is nothing more,
please try again with the --verbose-conflicts emerge parameter.

I already did that.

Thanks certainly for trying, but has anyone anything more helpful ?

Have you actually shown the complete output for the conflict for
kcoreaddons?  I only see one version listed for the slot.  Is there
another one showing perhaps the current installed version, and it being required by something else (also installed) which cannot work with the
newer version?

Is this the command you ran to get this output? I assume the same
happens with emerge -auDU @world, but did you try emerge -ac first?
Maybe something is still installed but deselected which I believe causes
it to not get rebuilt and potentially block other packages. All of these packages that claim to pull in the older versions seem to themselves be scheduled for update, that's why I'm thinking somewhere there is one
package that isn't that's causing all this mess.

It mb that I have to remove the whole of the present versions
in order to (re-)install the new ones ; it usually happens with Qt.
I've never understood why Portage can't handle that itself.

That's what I would suggest if what I wrote above doesn't work. I
haven't ever encountered this issue myself yet though despite
extensively using KDE packages, so I'm not sure what's going wrong here.

NOTE: Use the '--verbose-conflicts' option to display parents omitted above

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in
the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can
not be installed simultaneously.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man
page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

It mb that I have to remove the whole of the present versions
in order to (re-)install the new ones ; it usually happens with Qt.
I've never understood why Portage can't handle that itself.

Have you actually shown the complete output for the conflict for
kcoreaddons?  I only see one version listed for the slot.
Is there another one showing perhaps the current installed version
and it being required by something else (also installed)
which cannot work with the newer version?

Here is the whole command + output in gruesome detail :

Tracing through the slot conflicts:

There is a conflict between kde-frameworks/kcoreaddons-5.85.0 and
-5.82.0, this is what the first messages in your gruesome detail are saying:

=kde-frameworks/kcoreaddons-5.85*:5 required by

(kde-frameworks/kdeclarative-5.85.0:5/5.85::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for
merge) USE="-debug -doc" ABI_X86="(64)"

(kde-frameworks/kcrash-5.82.0:5/5.82::gentoo, installed) USE="-debug
-doc -nls -test" ABI_X86="(64)"

So why is kcrash-5.82.0 being pulled in?

This package is the result of another slot conflict:

=kde-frameworks/kcrash-5.85*:5 required by

(kde-frameworks/kservice-5.85.0:5/5.85::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for
merge) USE="-debug -doc -man -test" ABI_X86="(64)"

(kde-frameworks/kglobalaccel-5.82.0-r1:5/5.82::gentoo, installed)
USE="-debug -doc -nls -test" ABI_X86="(64)"

So why is kglobalaccel-5.82.0 being pulled in?

See in particular the last message. I'm not sure what causes that
message in particular, but it seems like kglobalaccel is causing the
problem by pulling in a bunch of 5.82.0 deps causing a slot conflict.

Just a shot in the dark, could some KDE packages have crept their way in
the world file maybe, perhaps even a specific version, older version at
that?

I replied elsewhere in the thread about my hunch where your problem is,
but just to clarify something here: when there is a slot conflict,
emerge will print the dependents causing the conflict. You've only
pasted the first message here, which is saying that kde-frameworks/kglobalaccel-5.85.0-r1 depends on =kde-frameworks/kcoreaddons-5.85*:5.

Below this line, there is probably another one telling you about a
different package that depends on a mutually exclusive version of
kcoreaddons. So the "=" here is only telling you what one of the
packages in conflict depends on.

Portage might be able to handle this automatically if you upgrade @world directly, but if you only ask to upgrade specific packages (the case
here?), you may be leaving out some package which needs to be upgraded
at the same time.

If that is the problem, solving it is probably a matter of identifying
packages which are not being upgraded and that depend on currently
installed versions of packages that will be upgraded. The output you
have included in the message I'm replying to is, unfortunately, not
enough - unless I'm misreading, I think it only says that:

- kcrash needs to be upgraded to allow the kcoreaddons upgrade, and

- kglobalaccel needs to be upgraded to allow kconfig, kwindowsystem,
kdbusaddon and kcrash upgrades

But these two are already part of your emerge command, so there is
possibly something else that is not in this list. Could you please share
the output with --verbose-conflicts?
