I really see no reason why paludis should downgrade qt.

paludis -pi world --log-level debug

i read the debug output. there is a version parsing error that i think should be fixed. (not related to downgrade problem)

  ... Skipping entry '/usr/portage/media-video/mplayer/mplayer-1.0_rc2_pre20070321-r4.ebuild' for 'media-video/mplayer' in repository 'gentoo' due to exception 'Name '1.0_rc2_pre20070321-r4' is not a valid version spec: unexpected trailing text 're20070321-r4'' (paludis::BadVersionSpecError)'
