1 Thank you to all who are following this.

3 I used emerge -vptd to get some debugging info. This is the reason
4 emerge wants to bring in the ~amd64 to my stable system:
5
6 Parent: (xfce-base/thunar-1.4.0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)
7 Depstring: || ( >=gnome-base/gvfs-1.10.1[udisks,udev]
8 >=gnome-base/gvfs-1.10.1[gdu,udev] )
9 Priority: runtime
10 installed: gnome-base/gvfs-1.10.1::gentoo
11 Candidates: ['>=gnome-base/gvfs-1.10.1[udisks,udev]']
12 ebuild: gnome-base/gvfs-1.12.3::gentoo

14 I do not know how to translate to english, but these questions arise:
15
16 1. What is this saying in english?
17 2. Should I have the udisks USE flag set?
18 3. Should I have the udev USE flag set?
19 4. Should I have the gdu USE flag set?
20 5. Will (3)-(5) change the way portage brings in the gvfs dependency?
21
22 Questions (3)-(5) are not educated questions. I really do not know
23 what any of that stuff does. I just see it listed in the output above
24 and naturally I wondered "should I set them?" The "Ubuntu forums"
25 approach would be for me to try all combinations of those three use
26 flags until it just works. In this case I would prefer to understand
27 what is going on :)

29 Thank you again,
