14 It's sys-apps/portage-2.1.11.9 My /etc/portage/package.use is
15 attached. I start my USE with "-*" so I have to put a lot of stuff in
16 package.use. Anyhow, I ran an update world. When I ran etc-update, here
17 are the changes it wanted to make to package.use...
18
19 1)
20 -app-emulation/qemu-kvm sdl
21 +# move app-emulation/qemu-kvm app-emulation/qemu
22 +app-emulation/qemu sdl
23
24 So they changed the name. No problem. I'll do this manually.

26
27 2)
28 -media-video/mplayer iconv
29
30 ?!?!? But, but, but... on my first attempt, the update refosed to run,
31 claiming that "iconv" is required if I specify "truetype". Now 5
32 minutes later, it wants me to remove the "iconv" flag.
33
34
35 3)
36 -www-client/midori deprecated
37
38 No bleeping way!
39 * Short story Flash does not work on linux midori without this option
40 * Long story. See "I got midori working, including Flash" which I
41 posted on the 15th in this forum. The Flash binary is GTK+:2 and only
42 works if linked with GTK+:2, which "deprecated" causes. The default
43 install links against GTK+:3, which seems to be ABI-incompatable with
44 Flash video (sound still works).
45
46 BTW, this install is on my "media PC" hooked up to my 50" plasma TV,
47 not my regular working machine. I went and deleted the new config, so I
48 don't accidentally enable it it some day.
