1 Well, OK, 2 days is a bit extreme (and I'm not even using some
2 super-fast machine here; I have a - by now - old Core 2 Duo E6600 CPU),
3 but regardless of how much time it needs, a change of a LINGUAS flag I
4 don't even use should probably not trigger a rebuild anyway. So other
5 than masking, there should be a way to trick portage into thinking the
6 already installed package has "sv" removed.
