Description Maurizio Disimino 2002-12-26 14:54:43 UTC

let's say I got DEPEND="png? ( >=media-gfx/xv-3.10a-r2 )"
1) How could I be sure tha media-gfx/xv has been compiled with USE=png ? 
2 ) And if it was compiled with USE="-png" portage should force
a re-emerge with USE="png"

thanks

1.) check the USE file in the db /var/db/pkg/
2.) yes. It should. (Search for other bugs)
