Please note that there is absolutely no version of portage that was not in package.mask that would have problems with an EAPI-2 atom in a news item because EAPI-2 support was added to portage at the same time as news item support (they both appeared in portage 2.1.6). Please don't. This needs to be figured out properly. -- Ciaran McCreesh signature.asc Description: PGP signature

So if we are lucky, on old versions of portage, portage.isvalidatom will report the USE-dep as an invalid atom and portage will print mean errors messages about 'invalid news items' but will not throw up (in theory). run: emerge --oneshot $(qlist -IC kde-base/) Is it guaranteed that your users have portage-utils installed?
