There are no use flags defined for any of the packages I did a random |
| 34 |
check for, either on the server or the client. I am worried that it is |
| 35 |
as you say: that the ebuild has a change of USE flags, which, of course, |
| 36 |
has nothing to do with me, the user. |
| 37 |
I wish dearly that I could find a print out of the reasons why a package |
| 38 |
is rejected, listing new and old USE flags, for example. |
