37 Hi,
38
39 yes, of course ! :O)
40
41 recently I had to "emerge e world" (I had CHOST wrongly set, but this
42 is another story).
43
44 After cairo was emerged there was another package, which wants cairo
45 to be reinstalled with USE="X" set.
46
47 OK, I did an
48
49 export USE="X"; emerg cairo
50
51 ...and forgot to
52
53 unset USE
54
55 afterwards.
56
57 A couple of packages now have "X*" in their description when doing
58
59 emerge -pv <package>
60
61 Unfortunately I dont now, whether the original settings of those
62 packages were
63
64 USE="......... -X"........"
65
66 or
67
68 USE="................." (no X mentioned at all).
69
70 I now want to re-emerge those packages with those settings, which
71 were originally choosen by the gentoo team for those packages,
72 regardless what I set on the commandline accidently.
73
74 (sorry for my german English...)
75
76 Keep hacking and thank you very much for your help in advance!
77 mcc
78
79 PS: Or is it better to hack a (what?) system file and remove the "X*"
80 settings there and re-emerge those packages with no extra settings on
81 the command line?
