29 If it helps any, I'm on Portage 2.2_rc42 and my package.use file is
30 normal. That is one line with multiple USE flags on the one line.
31 Portage did upgrade tonight tho. I think it was rc40 before that.
32 Also, I still have the file, not a directory for package.*. I still
33 haven't switched yet.
