I'm sorry, my client didn't allow to send plain text email anymore... So, here is my original email.
Dear all, My bad for not noticing it sooner, but when there is a dependency like ">=sys-fs/udev-208-r1:0/0[static-libs?]" (that occurs in virtual/libgudev-215-r3), since 'static-libs' is not a use flags of sys-fs/udev-242, that cpv is silently not considered during dependency solving by emerge. However, the PMS states: - it is an error for a use dependency to be applied to an ebuild which does not have the flag in question in IUSE_REFERENCEABLE - For EAPIs listed in table 5.4 as not supporting profile defined IUSE injection, IUSE_REFERENCEABLE is equal to the calculated IUSE value. For EAPIs where profile defined IUSE injection is supported, IUSE_REFERENCEABLE is equal to IUSE_EFFECTIVE And 'static-libs' is not in the IUSE_EFFECTIVE of sys-fs/udev-242 (that ebuild has EAPI=6). So it seems to me that this current behavior of emerge should be considered an error, no? Or the PMS should be updated? This is related to the tool I'm working on: should my tool allow this behavior, or fail like it is currently doing (I guess the former)?
