Moving slightly off-topic, it would have been nice if portage had told |
| 10 |
you that you were trying to use an unsupported USE flag in a more |
| 11 |
obvious way than the simple yellow 'tcltk%' it currently gives. It's |
| 12 |
very easy to miss that in the huge mass of detail from emerge world. |

I'd prefer a more verbose message at the end, where blockers and masking |
| 15 |
information goes. Such a thing would have saved you much effort. |
