I had that problem when I upgraded to the 2005.0 profile, then opened
ufed to change a USE flag. Twenty-five or so flags, gone.
I reconstructed them by using
"emerge avDt --newuse world"
and NOT executing, but looking for the changes in USE flags marked by
an "*".
I edited /etc/make.conf by hand.
There may be an easier way, but this worked.
$ emerge avDt --newuse world
emerge: please specify a package class ("world" or "system") or
individual packages, but not both.
It's OK, though, I can retrieve my USE variables (give or take one or
two) from another box.
What I find amazing is that such a big fat BUG can keep happily
prospering. Now all I have to do is to recompile xorg+QT+kde+whatnot...
Not to mention the time I lost trying to understand why I have no sound
(who would think of checking USE variables that were supposed to remain
untouched?)
Thanks.
