Maybe you've got LINGUAS set incorrectly. ;) Quoting the relevant bit again, the --changed-use option does not trigger reinstallation when flags that the user has not enabled are added or removed. kdeenablefinla was a flag the user (me or Hilco) had *not* enabled, so that option should *not* have triggered reinstallation. FWIW, there is discussion of the issue of triggering needless reinstalls on the dev list now because of kdeenablefinal, buried in the thread "[gentoo-commits] gentoo-x86 commit in sys-libs/glibc:...". It's mixed in with arguing about changing USE flags on stable ebuilds. --changed-use isn't mentioned, instead --exclude=kde-base/* is recommended, and they are talking about mentioning --exclude in the --newuse section of the man page. I'm not filing a --changed-use bug or posting in the dev list because of Medico's IMO rather prickly attitude about this kind of thing. He says in this case: The fact is, the user is not being forced to rebuild anything. They can simply run full system updates with --newuse less often if it puts too much strain on them. Lest I seem ungrateful, let me be clear I do appreciate the tons of work he's put into portage for many years.
