It might be masked by the profile. As I understand it, recent EAPIs allow USE flags to be forced per-profile. This makes sense - a dev might enable USE=udev everywhere except on gentoo-freebsd profiles, just as an example. But I'm not yet up to speed on how to detect and over-ride such things. I think you should log a bug now at b.g.o. and let the devs tell you what's really going on with your selections. -- Alan McKinnon [email protected]
