51 Well, I put -semantic-desktop in my USE line and ran emerge -uvDN
52 world. It recompiled several things and told me it had some
53 @preserved-rebuild packages to build. So, I ran that and got this
54 little message:
55
56 root@smoker / # emerge @preserved-rebuild -a
57
58 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
59
60 Calculating dependencies ... done!
61
62 emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy
63 ">=kde-base/kdelibs-4.3.2:4.3[semantic-desktop,-kdeprefix]".
64 !!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
65 - kde-base/kdelibs-4.3.2-r3 (Change USE: +semantic-desktop)
66 (dependency required by "kde-base/nepomuk-4.3.2" [ebuild])
67 (dependency required by "@preserved-rebuild" [argument])
68
69 root@smoker / #
70
71 So I guess we can't really have the USE flag disabled either. Neato !
72 < sarcasm there >
73
74 Now to change my USE line back again and run emerge -uvDN world.
