The suggested equery wasn't much help, but grep-ing use.local.desc was a gold mine. Thanks! I had already looked into use.desc and I stopped there and posted my request for help. Why is it, that use.desc contains less information about the use flags than use.local.desc? Other than that, thank you very much. Jerry -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
