Your logic is flawed. This is what it should be: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
The question is: "Was this package built, *with* a particular USE |
| 12 |
flag?" (note my emphasis, to try to make things clearer.) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
So, Python looks at the ebuild-installed packages. Not there. Next, it |
| 15 |
looks at the package.provided packages. Let's assume the simpler case, |
| 16 |
that it isn't there either. So, Python concludes, "Well, the package |
| 17 |
hasn't been *built*, so it has not been built *with* any USE flags at |
| 18 |
all. Therefore the answer is False. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
If the question was to divide a number by zero, *then* I'd expect an |
| 21 |
error to be raised. |
