I didn't see that one. I was just catching up on 500+ emails in this list so didn't read every one ;-) If the problem was gone after an emerge sync, it means that it wasn't a bug in portage but a bug in an ebuild. Basically, some ebuild had a hardcoded dep (i.e. not responsive to use flags) which has since been rectified. Regards, Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
