Right. I misspoke. New use flags, not new a package.

However the outcome is consistent. It says it's 'fetching' because
it's responding to the idea that there's a new use flag, but then
fetches nothing because the file is already here and builds nothing
because it's already been built.

It's not a big deal. The machine is fine. Everything is consistent as
far as I know. However some portion of the download logic in emerge is
confused.

I've seen this sort of thing a few times in the past but it's always
cleared up in a day or two. This one has gone on for weeks.

Note that I do use ~amd64 on portage & eix. Maybe it's a bug that
hasn't been cleaned up yet.

So, following through, there does appear to be a new flag setting
(-gdu) however it's not triggered emerging @world even though packages
on the system require gvfs according to equery.

Somethings inconsistent. (Possibly my brain!)
