Ok here's some of the info u asked for, here's a totally fresh nothing installed USE: emerge info | grep 'USE=' USE="x86 oss 3dnow apm arts avi crypt cups encode gif gpm gtk imlib java jpeg kde gnome libg++ libwww mikmod mmx motif mpeg ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl pdflib png qt qtmt quicktime sdl spell svga truetype X xml2 xmms xv zlib gdbm berkdb slang readline tcpd pam ssl perl python" and here's one after trying to install using emerge -K: emerge info | grep 'USE=' USE="x86 oss 3dnow apm avi crypt cups encode gif jpeg libg++ libwww mikmod mmx mpeg ncurses nls pdflib png qtmt quicktime spell truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib gdbm berkdb slang readline arts svga java X sdl gpm tcpd pam ssl perl python esd imlib oggvorbis gnome gtk qt kde motif opengl mozilla" using export USE="-* $(python -c 'import portage,string; printstring.join(portage.settings["USE"])')" gives a USE of emerge info | grep 'USE=' USE="x86 8 6 3 j + w f q u X 2 x v z k b g i c d a m s e r l p y t h o n" and nocks the packages clear down to 133 which doesn't seem right like I said last night the original compiled over 200 packages and the install was only 156, emerge /usr/portage/packages/All/* -np reveales about 50 packages that weren't installed Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
export USE="-* $(python -c 'import portage;print portage.settings["USE"])')" settings["USE"] is space seperated. It's the bash var, not portage.usesplit.
oops I meant to cc jhhudso
closing this as invalid
I apologise for this bugspam, but I wish to close this product, so I need to move all the bugs.
