This is why Ciaran and I opened a bug for the Portage team to get this |
7 |
handled up-front. Alas, I can't find the bug any more to reference it |

here :( |

You're assuming that a user can figure out how to fix the one package |
11 |
when they realise it's broken. Unless a user looks inside the ebuild, |
12 |
they're not going to understand why the USE flags they've selected has |
13 |
resulted in a package that doesn't actually have those features. |
14 |
Chances are, the user will never look. |

This is going to *create* more support, not reduce it. That's hardly |
17 |
a worthy outcome. |
