The built_with_use check always fails when sys-apps/dbus-1.0x is installed. With this message: !!! sys-apps/dbus-1.0.1-r2 does not actually support the qt3 USE flag! ...which actually isn't the thing to be checked in the statement. Because you want to check if the qt3 flag is on, but it fails because there is no qt3 flag. This is incorrect. Please encapsulate your check like this: if [ ! -z $(best_version =sys-apps/dbus-0.62*) ]; then if use hal && ! built_with_use sys-apps/dbus qt3; then ............. fi fi This bug / fix is similar to my fix in bug: #150888
I have a cool idea - stop mixing stable ebuilds w/ latest unstable dbus...
I should at least have checked if there was anything newer that's already fixed. Sorry.
If you're going to use a ~arch marked dbus, you need to use a ~arch marked k3b.
