9 Thanks! It seems that:
10 =================================
11 # equery depends orbit
12 [ Searching for packages depending on orbit... ]
13 gnome-base/gconf-2.14.0
14
15 # equery depends gconf
16 [ Searching for packages depending on gconf... ]
17 media-libs/gst-plugins-0.8.11
18
19 # equery depends gst-plugins
20 [ Searching for packages depending on gst-plugins... ]
21 #
22 =================================
23
24 That said, my gst-plugin has all the right flags set:
25 [ebuild R ] media-libs/gst-plugins-0.8.11 USE="alsa oss -debug -esd"
26
27 This must be a new dependency then?
