Larry the Cow is pissed again.
He SPECIFICALLY added the "-arts" to my use flag to avoid that P-o-S arts
package...and when I "emerge kde" one of the dependencies (that's compiling
right now) is...you guessed it...that M$-style bloated piece of garbage - arts.

I traced it to the /usr/portage/kde-base/kdeaddons/kdeaddons-*.ebuild files.  In
there we have 
newdepend "-kde-base/... 
    ~kde-base/... 
    ~kde-base/arts/arts-...          <-----------This line
    ~kde-base/...
    ..."

Shouldn't it begin with an "arts?" statement?  Is there a good reason for this? 
Does the kdeaddons package irrevocably require arts?  Maybe arts shouldn't be a
flag anymore...because Larry is ticked off by this as it defeats the whole
purpose of the "arts" flag!  Why give an option if you're not going to honor it?
Reminds him of my ex-girlfriend...ask a question for the sake of asking and
ignore the answer >- |
