10 I had 'python' in the 'USE=" in 'make.conf' for whatever reason,
11 so i deleted it & that removed some of the outstanding problem pkgs.
12
13 I'm now left with 5 problem pkgs :
14
15 llvm-7.1.0 fetchmail-6.3.26-r4 qtwebkit-5.212.0_pre20180120
16 spidermonkey-60.5.2_p0-r2 firefox-60.8.0
17
18 the former 3 all have in their ebuilds
19
20 PYTHON_COMPAT=( python2_7 )
21
22 the latter 2 are said to require
23
24 python 2.7 : 2.7 [ncurses sqlite ssl threads]
25
26 I don't understand the list in square brackets, which are USE flags :
27 they aren't set in 'make.conf' or elsewhere AFAIK.
28
29 Can anyone explain (1) how to get around the 1st 3 ebuilds
30 or (2) what the problem is with the 2nd 2 examples ?
