Yes, that's my experience w KDE + Qt in the past.
I solved the problem as before by logging into Fluxbox,
removing KDE Apps Plasma Frameworks via @-files
& re-installing ditto in reverse order ; everything worked.
Since you could not install kio:6, emerge tried to install kio:5 instead. Naturally, kio:5 depends on various KDE 5 packages.
That's lunatic ! -- very few, if any, users would want to do that.
Portage lacks intelligence & it shows an obtuse face to users.
It's been there largely unchanged since I started using Gentoo in 2003.
It's high time some effort was put into a serious update.
Lots of software still exists which was written during the KDE 5 days
and doesn't have active upstream maintainers. Those tend to take a while
to update, and not all will end up updating at all -- some packages
may end up dropped for their lack of maintenance, eventually.
Yes indeed : I dropped my favorite file-manager Krusader,
which won't work with KDE 6 ; perhaps it wb brought upto-date one day.
