It's a bit strange: I have the avahi use-flag in /etc/make.conf equery uses kde-base/kdelibs shows the avahi use-flag but eix -e kde-base/kdelibs doesn't. Now, unmerging kde-base/kdelibs:3.5 and reemerging it again (from source - not from a package) seems to work but takes some time on my slow machine. Thanks for the hint though it's still a bit strange. Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany
