(In reply to comment #0) I see the exact same problem. I also have -hal in my make.conf USE variable, which may be the cause of this bug.
hi, this was a my fault: sorry for the inconvenience and for handling this only now i was busy in these two days with many issues in real life. I just solved this problem in jokey's overlay[1] expect an update in portage soon. Thanks for your report. [1] http://overlays.gentoo.org/dev/jokey/browser/trunk/app-emulation/virtualbox
Hi, fixed in CVS (without revbump) the issue with the hal USE flag and app-emulation/virtualbox-1.4.0. Please try to sync (emerge --sync) and re emerge virtualbox.
Well, I'm not a Gentoo-dev but I tested virtualbox-1.4.0 and the -hal bug is gone. So as the reporter of this bug I gonna close it as fixed. Feel free to post here if you have still problems concerning the -hal useflag and I will reopen it. Cheers Poly-C
