Actually, that search string failed in /usr/bin/most here, which I have as
my MANPAGER. I just needed "/()".

So it is - thanks. I wonder how I missed it the first time. Anno Domini is at
work again.

The brackets mean the USE flag is forced, masked or removed.
(if you want to jump to the section in `man emerge` search for () using
"/\(\)" as searching for verbose or -v shows results everywhere)
man emerge:
--verbose [ y | n ] (-v short option)
Tell emerge to run in verbose mode. Currently this flag
causes emerge to print out GNU info errors, if any, and to show the USE
flags that will be used for each package when pretending. The following
symbols are affixed to USE
flags in order to indicate their status:
Symbol LocationMeaning
──
-prefix not enabled (either disabled or removed)
*suffix transition to or from the enabled state
%suffix newly added or removed
() circumfix forced, masked, or removed
{} circumfix state is bound to FEATURES settings

So of course setting it in package.use didn't help. Where are these punctuation marks documented, anyway? I've looked in various man pages and even the portage/output.py file under /usr/lib. Google didn't help either. -- Rgds Peter

That looked promising until I noticed "(-gn)" in USE when I said emerge -pv chromium. So of course setting it in package.use didn't help. Thanks anyway. -- Rgds Peter

Looking at the ebuild, speech-dispatcher is required is you do not have USE="gn", the rest aren't mentioned and are probably dependencies of speech-dispatcher. -- Neil Bothwick How do you know when it's time to tune your bagpipes? pgpGXfz2xcu8m.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature
