I am trying to update to the latest version of ruby: # emerge -pvt ruby tk These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild U ] dev-lang/ruby-1.8.6_p287-r5 [1.8.6_p287-r4] USE="berkdb emacs gdbm ipv6 ssl tk -debug -doc -examples -rubytests -socks5 -threads -xemacs" 0 kB [ebuild R ] dev-lang/tk-8.4.18 USE="-debug -threads" 0 kB However, emerge of ruby crashes immediately with comlaint of inconsistent USE flags (threads) between ruby and TK. The problem is that "threads" is off for both packages, and I have re-emerged TK once already, to ensure that it does not inlcude thread support. If this message should be interpreted to mean that I must have threads support for both, should the message be reworded?

Created attachment 183006 [details, diff] Updates ebuild to use EAPI 2. This solves the problem for me. Hope it is helpful.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 258893 ***
For the record, we didn't go with the EAPI-2 thing to be able to show the custom message.
