Mystery solved. The line above does indeed work in that an update world with --newuse does reinstall apps without the networkmanager USE flag. I was testing the line above with emerge --depclean networkmanager and that is the wrong test. It is only after I do the update world so that the -networkmanager USE takes affect, that I can hope to for the --depclean to take affect. thanks to all. allan
