23 Apparently you didn't have the bash-completion enabled on those
24 packages when you installed them. Look at the output of `emerge -pv
25 app-editors/vim` and you will be able to see if reinstalling the
26 package causes the flag to change state. The symbols in the USE
27 flag display are documented with the --verbose option in `man emerge`.
