I've also had problems with --usepkg. When it gives me problems, as a

--nodeps --oneshot for each and every binpkg that I want merged. If I
think that this may have broken something then afterwards I use
"revdep-rebuild -p" to check linking integrity.
thats nearly the same like I do: emerge --usepkg --oneshot binpkgs.
So I assume, I'm not alone with this problem (--newuse & --usepkg &
-uD). The question is, is there a missunderstanding or a bug?
Sascha.
There are a few open bugs related to binpkg handling. Attached is a script
that prints out the use flags of a binpkg (similar to emerge -pv output). I
you believe that you have discovered an unreported bug, then please file a new
bug at bugs.gentoo.org.
