The bug is about *default* use flags breaking interactivity. There are |
| 25 |
donzens of packages that die in pkg_setup if incorrect USE flags are |
| 26 |
sepcified, because use-dependencies are not implemented. I don't |
| 27 |
believe anyone is trying to enforce interactivity in that case, because |
| 28 |
as far as I'm aware there is no workaround present. |
