Is this related:

I don't know.  I read that news item and followed its instructions at
the time.  My make conf contains:

LINGUAS="en en_US"
L10N="en en-US"

Most recent thread here:

https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/29b00839ba5be715d883412011d8a421

That sounds supicious, but I set L10N as I was supposed to.

Still, it looks like there are at least 9 packages on my system
installed which are now broken due to linguas_XX USE flag problems.

Apparently, even though there are still plenty of packages that aren't
ready for the removal LINGUAS as an expanded USE variable, they went
ahead and did it.

For example, the first one I ran into was iso-codes:

Hopefully the others will also get fixed soon.

It's surprising that something as common as cups got broken.

Apparently, cups's LINGUAS brokeness was reported almost two years
ago, but hasn't been fixed yet:

It looks like aspell was just fixed a couple hours ago:

I think I'll wait a week or two before attempting to update any other
machines...



Yea, sometimes people think everything is ready when some are not. One would think the more used packages would be noticed tho. Guess not.

That was the only change I recall reading about so I thought it worth a mention, just in case it was the cause.
