[gentoo-user] LINGUAS make.conf variable being ignored?

[Grant Edwards]

I tried to update today using my normal "emerge --sync; emerge -auvND
world" sequence and it's failing when it gets to iso-codes:

>>> Emerging (1 of 1) app-text/iso-codes-3.75::gentoo

 * The specific snippet of code:
 *                         die "USE Flag '${u}' not in IUSE for ${CATEGORY}/${PF}"

I haven't changed LINGUAS or L10N for ages, but I've noticed that
suddely other packages are being rebuild without linguas_en and
linguas_en_us.

Is make.conf's LINGUAS variable no longer being expanded?

How do you show the complete set of use flags including expanded ones?

euse doesn't seem to show use flags generated from expanded variables.
