Subject: [gentoo-user] emerge wants to rebuild a lot again

1 Today, I got a lot of rebuild requests from emerge after doing:
2
3 emerge -puDvt --newuse world
4
5 I spot checked a couple of builds, but nothing has changed! Can you help
6 decipher the following please:
7
8 Using the first application that shows up as an example:
9
10 [ebuild R ] sys-apps/diffutils-2.8.7-r1 USE="nls -static (-debug%)" 1,037 kB
11
12 What does (-debug%) mean? Here is the equery output:
13
14 [ Found these USE variables for sys-apps/diffutils-2.8.7-r1 ]
15 U I
16 - - debug : Tells configure and the makefiles to build for debugging. Effects vary across packages, but generally it will at least add -g to CFLAGS. Remember to set FEATURES=nostrip too
17 + + nls : Adds Native Language Support (using gettext - GNU locale utilities)
18 - - static : !!do not set this during bootstrap!! Causes binaries to be statically linked instead of dynamically
19
20 Ideas? Is it because the -debug variable has been removed from somewhere?
21
22 Thx
