*shrug* It's pretty obvious. You probably already know this, but for the benefit of those who really haven't thought about it rather than those who just want to go around trolling... When a package that toggles a USE flag gets installed, the dep resolver has to go back and regenerate the deplist with that USE flag changed. However, this can cause the package that would have enabled the USE flag to no longer be installed. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (King of all Londinium) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
