This is not because of a use.mask over a flag, I'm afraid. I've removed some |
| 6 |
arts useflags in the past days, a they are currently showing everywhere |

there's a kde eclass uasage, this is suboptimal as most of the times arts is |

not actually needed there. |

When a flag is removed from a package it might be the same as having it |
| 11 |
disabled or enabled, it depends, so --newuse does its job by rebuilding the |
| 12 |
package. |

Indeed even when a package _requires_ arts, I remove the useflag and force |
| 15 |
arts on. |
