[gentoo-dev] The following USE changes are necessary to proceed - Why?
Hi all, I am about to upgrade gnutls. Given the output below: centaur ~ # emerge gnutls -vp These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] dev-libs/nettle-2.4 USE=gmp ssl 1,051 kB [ebuild U ] net-libs/gnutls-2.12.16 [2.10.5] USE=cxx nettle%* zlib -bindist -doc -examples -guile -lzo -nls -pkcs11% -static-libs% -test 7,000 kB Total: 2 packages (1 upgrade, 1 new), Size of downloads: 8,051 kB The following USE changes are necessary to proceed: #required by net-libs/gnutls-2.12.16[nettle], required by gnutls (argument) =dev-libs/nettle-2.4 gmp So I added the nettle USE flag. I tried both package.use and make.conf but it doesn't seem to make any difference: Portage keeps giving me the above output. Why does portage keep complaining? I'm sure that after the update everything will be fine but it seems to me that Portage should not tell me about USE changes if I've already made them? Cheers, Hilco

The following USE changes are necessary to proceed: #required by net-libs/gnutls-2.12.16[nettle], required by gnutls (argument) =dev-libs/nettle-2.4 gmp So I added the nettle USE flag. I tried both package.use and make.conf but it doesn't seem to make any difference: Portage keeps giving me the above output. The line above is not prompting you to turn on the nettle use flag, which appears to already be on. It's prompting you to add the gmp use flag for dev-libs/nettle. -Ross

Cheers, Hilco I says nothing about nettle use flag.

It looks that way, but that's because emerge enabled it automatically to satisfy the dep (--autounmask is enabled by default these days). The prompt is there to notify the user that they need to adjust their configuration files (or use --autounmask-write). In either case -- this isn't gentoo-dev material. Indeed, forums.gentoo.org would be more appropriate. -- Thanks, Zac

It looks that way, but that's because emerge enabled it automatically to satisfy the dep (--autounmask is enabled by default these days). The prompt is there to notify the user that they need to adjust their configuration files (or use --autounmask-write). I've disabled autounmask. The error message you get without autounmask is much clearer. I can see the value of autounmask but the error (info?) message could be made clearer. (Not that it doesn't contain all needed information, I obviously wasn't paying enough attention and the first line threw me.) In either case -- this isn't gentoo-dev material. No, probably not, it was mostly user error. Still, see above. Indeed, forums.gentoo.org would be more appropriate. Gentoo-user, sure. forums.gentoo.org? No never. MLs are useful, forums are a pain. But that's a whole different discussion. :-)
