   emerge message I don't quite understand

   Hi again :)   
      
   Since the problems I've recently had, I try to keep my gentoo distro up to   
   date, so I run almost every 2 days an "emerge --sync" , followed by   
   an "emerge -uDv world" , but this time, I get a message that I don't really   
   understand ( my english is ... ) . Could anyone tell me what that means and   
   what I should do ?   
   Thanks a lot , here is the message :   
      
   *********************************************************   
   jef jf # emerge -uDv world   
      
   These are the packages that would be merged, in order:   
      
   Calculating world dependencies /   
   !!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been   
   !!! pulled into the dependency graph:   
      
   kde-base/kdelibs:3.5   
      
     ('installed', '/', 'kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.8-r4', 'nomerge') pulled in by   
       ('installed', '/', 'kde-base/kde-3.5.8', 'nomerge')   
      
     ('ebuild', '/', 'kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.9-r4', 'merge') pulled in by   
       ('installed', '/', 'kde-misc/ksensors-0.7.3', 'nomerge')   
      
      
   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.   
      
   !!! Depgraph creation failed.
