This is now even weirder. I did upgrade boost-build, then emerging boost |
27 |
wanted to rebuild 11 other packages - including kdepimlibs, and I do not |
28 |
want to break KMail, nor even bruise it. So I didn't emerge boost. |
29 |
|
30 |
Then, after downgrading boost-build again, emerge -1a boost succeeded in |
31 |
upgrading boost-build, without the USE flag, and is now proceeding with the |
32 |
other 11. |

How does that work? |
