Your logic is flawed. This is what it should be: The question is: "Was this package built, *with* a particular USE flag?" (note my emphasis, to try to make things clearer.) So, Python looks at the ebuild-installed packages. Not there. Next, it looks at the package.provided packages. Let's assume the simpler case, that it isn't there either. So, Python concludes, "Well, the package hasn't been *built*, so it has not been built *with* any USE flags at all. Therefore the answer is False. If the question was to divide a number by zero, *then* I'd expect an error to be raised. -- gentoo-portage-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
