When you are at it: Why is USE=gdbm there? Even desktops run fine without sys-libs/gdbm nowadays; even sys-libs/db is only needed on desktops if you use libreoffice (in contrast to e.g. openoffice-bin where it is bundled, fortunately). Maybe this was different when e.g. some applications (netscape?) could use gdbm instead of berkeley's db, but nowadays, when many applications (e.g. firefox) have switched to sqlite, it seeems that gdbm is outdated. I have USE=-cups -gdbm ... in make.conf on KDE desktop machines since ages and no problems with it.

Cheers, Ben | yngwin +1 for getting rid of it everywhere in profiles, it's one of those steps you do during installation as first thing, set USE=-cups (when you realize GTK+ pulling it in for printing widgets/dialogs)

I cannot find any description about 'nptlonly' and 'sysfs' in either
/profiles/use{,.local}.desc. Are they still used?
This is used by /usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/10.0 for
example, so I have cups in default NON-DESKTOP profile like it was a
mandatory useflag.
Is it? I don't even have a printer and expect that profile to be the
very minimum.
+1 on that.
Thanks for cleaning up profiles!
