I'm not sure if you will need sys-fs/cryptsetup for your setup, but I |
| 39 |
think you may have gotten confused over the difference between USE and |
| 40 |
IUSE. IUSE is a variable set by an ebuild to tell portage (or your PM |
| 41 |
of choice) that this package supports certain USE flags. See ebuild(5) |
| 42 |
for more information. |
