On a clean system, installing app-text/aspell-0.60.5 pulls only the app-dicts/aspell-en dictionary, regardless of the LINGUAS setting. The reason -- the appropriate linguas_XX are not in IUSE. The fix is trivial: --- /usr/portage/app-text/aspell/aspell-0.60.5.ebuild 2007-05-12 20:05:32.000000000 +0900 +++ ./aspell-0.60.5.ebuild 2007-05-12 22:50:14.459793869 +0900 @@ -26,6 +26,7 @@ "en" "eo" "es" "et" "fi" "fo" "fr" "ga" "gl" "he" \ "hr" "is" "it" "nl" "no" "pl" "pt" "ro" "ru" "sk" \ "sl" "sr" "sv" "uk" "vi"; do + IUSE="${IUSE} linguas_${l}" dep="linguas_${l}?

This patch works (at least for me), but I don't think that is a good idea to use it, because if we use LINGUAS as USE flags, when LINGUAS var is changed aspell will be reemerged although when it shouldn't, because is something unneeded.
Without your patch it works just fine, too. Yes, aspell doesn't have the USE flags but it pulls the correct dictionaries in anyway: With LINGUAS="de" in make.conf: emerge =app-text/aspell-0.60.5 -p These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] app-text/aspell-0.60.5 USE="gpm nls" [ebuild N ] app-dicts/aspell-de-0.60_pre20030222 On the command line without any LINGUAS defined in make.conf: USE="linguas_de linguas_ca linguas_cs" emerge =app-text/aspell-0.60.5 -p These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
