I had a similar case recently and detected another problem if you try |
| 13 |
to switch from one possibility to the other. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Say you have python with berkdb compiled to satisfy the dependency and |
| 16 |
then set "dev-lang/python -berkdb sqlite" in package.use. After this |
| 17 |
world dependency calculation will fail. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
The only way I found to get around this is to recompile python with |
| 20 |
the new use flags first. Afterwards dependency calculation succeeds. |
