Well, this is really surprising...I never thought of this. You made my day! I checked the file "/usr/portage/profiles/base/package.use.mask", it tells: # Ulrich Müller <u...@gentoo.org> (4 Feb 2017) # Uses old and vulnerable net-libs/webkit-gtk:3, bug #584156. app-editors/emacs:25 xwidgets app-editors/emacs-vcs:25 xwidgets For those who don't care about it and just want to use xwidgets: Edit your use.mask file, mine is: "/etc/portage/profile/package.use.mask". Add line below: app-editors/emacs -xwidgets Danny
