Yes Dmitri,
You understood exactly my point,
from man emerge :
[...]
A USE flag in pparenthesis, like (-selinux), is always disabled and
shows that the flag is not available for the current system profile.
[...]
also, I have nvidia-glx which was merged without profile change without
multilib and is not proposed for an update. (emerge --newuse -pv
nvidia-glx returns also (-multilib) with no star)
also, consider the following two commands :
emerge --newuse -peDtv nvidia-glx |grep emul
(empty result implying that nvidia-glx does not depend of anything with
emul in its name on my system)
grep multi /usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-glx/nvidia-glx-1.0.6629-r1.ebuild
IUSE="multilib"
PDEPEND="amd64? ( multilib? (
>=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-nvidia-${PV} ) )"
(in case you ask 1.0.6629-r1 is the one that the emerge command would re
merge)
so it looks that on my system, multilib is not set
(also, emerge --info |grep multilib => nothing)
