Now, unmerging kde-base/kdelibs:3.5 and reemerging it again (from source - not from a package) seems to work but takes some time on my slow machine. Thanks for the hint though it's still a bit strange. Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany

It is telling you that the ebuild looks at the avahi USE flag (i.e. it's in IUSE), not that it is actually active for that package. > but eix -e kde-base/kdelibs doesn't. eix gives the output you actually want - it tells you which flags are listed, and is you have selected them or not for the package. Most likely is that you have 'kdelibs -avahi' in package.use Try these: grep -r kdelibs /etc/portage/* grep -r avahi /etc/portage/* to see better what is going on -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
