*shrug* It's pretty obvious. You probably already know this, but for |
| 14 |
the benefit of those who really haven't thought about it rather than |
| 15 |
those who just want to go around trolling... When a package that |
| 16 |
toggles a USE flag gets installed, the dep resolver has to go back and |
| 17 |
regenerate the deplist with that USE flag changed. However, this can |
| 18 |
cause the package that would have enabled the USE flag to no longer be |
| 19 |
installed. |
