11 No, I didn't see it, but it looks like some package moved to another
12 category or got renamed so portage patched package.use for you. Try
13 dispatch-config, preferably with vimdiff and perhaps RCS support, it
14 makes maintaining your config so much easier than etc-update. I can't
15 remember any case where it wasn't just fine to just accept the changes
16 though.
