When I emerged media-video/xine-ui-0.99.4-r5 today using a 2006.1 profile, I noticed that (fairly important) binary /usr/bin/xine didn't get merged. Listed here are the steps necessary to duplicate the problem: 1. Confirm that you're using the 2006.1 profile: landlord-wireless ~ # ls -FGg /etc/make.profile lrwxrwxrwx 1 48 Sep 12 19:35 /etc/make.profile -> ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.1/ 2. emerge xine-ui landlord-wireless ~ # emerge xine-ui 3. confirm that /usr/bin/xine wasn't created: landlord-wireless ~ # equery files xine-ui | grep '/usr/bin/xine' /usr/bin/xine-bugreport /usr/bin/xine-check 4. unmerge xine-ui landlord-wireless ~ # emerge -C xine-ui 5. revert back to the 2006.0 profile landlord-wireless ~ # unlink /etc/make.profile landlord-wireless ~ # ln -sf ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.0 /etc/make.profile landlord-wireless ~ # ls -FGg /etc/make.profile lrwxrwxrwx 1 48 Sep 12 20:01 /etc/make.profile -> ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.0/ 6. emerge xine-ui again, now using the 2006.0 profile landlord-wireless ~ # emerge xine-ui 7. confirm that now the /usr/bin/xine binary *has* been installed landlord-wireless ~ # equery files xine-ui | grep '/usr/bin/xine' /usr/bin/xine /usr/bin/xine-bugreport /usr/bin/xine-check /usr/bin/xine-remote Here's the output of `emerge --info` after switching back to the 2006.1 profile: Gentoo Base System version 1.12.4 Portage 2.1.1 (default-linux/x86/2006.1, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.17.6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17.6 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 Mobile CPU 2.00GHz Last Sync: Tue, 12 Sep 2006 06:50:01 +0000 app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r3 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r5 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo" LINGUAS="" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://gentoo-rsync.halibutdepot.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 berkdb bitmap-fonts cli crypt cups dlloader dri elibc_glibc fam fortran gdbm gpm input_devices_kbd input_devices_mouse isdnlog kernel_linux libg++ ncurses nls nptl nptlonly offensive pam pcre perl ppds pppd python readline reflection session spl ssl tcpd truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode userland_GNU video_cards_nv xorg zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, MAKEOPTS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY

Type emerge -pv xine-ui under both profiles and compare the output. ;) Hint - missing a use flag.
(In reply to comment #2) > Type emerge -pv xine-ui under both profiles and compare the output. ;) Hint - > missing a use flag. Thanks for your input, both Jorge and Jakub! When I followed your advice, Jakub, I noticed that I was missing the "X" USE flag in the 2006.1 profile. Apparently, I hadn't specified the "X" USE flag in my /etc/make.conf, and it had been dropped from 2006.0 to 2006.1 in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.1/make.defaults . Now that I've emerged xine-ui with the "X" USE flag, I've confirmed the /usr/bin/xine binary is being created once again. Thanks for your help; this problem is resolved. Looks like it was clearly a case of pilot error! :)
Probably the desktop subprofile is what you are looking for. ;) default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop
(In reply to comment #4) > Probably the desktop subprofile is what you are looking for. ;) > > default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop Jakub-- you're absolutely right! I didn't realize that there existed a new "desktop" sub-profile in 2006.1 . I've changed over to this profile, and now I see a much more reasonable set of default USE flags for a desktop. Not bad! Thanks for pointing this out to me!
