Description ta2002 2007-09-03 10:10:10 UTC
I know this isn't supported usage, but it looks like something has really gone off the rails here:

$ equery uses alsa
[ Searching for packages matching alsa... ]
[ Colour Code : set unset ]
[ Legend : Left column  (U) - USE flags from make.conf              ]
[        : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ]
[ Found these USE variables for sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.21-r4 ]
 U I
 - - build   : !!internal use only!! DO NOT SET THIS FLAG YOURSELF!, used for creating build images and the first half of bootstrapping [make stage1]
 - - symlink : Force kernel ebuilds to automatically update the /usr/src/linux symlink.
[ Found these USE variables for sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r5 ]

Comment 1 Paul Varner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-09-04 21:28:08 UTC
Actually, that output is correct.  'alsa' matches virtual/alsa, which when expanded matches sys-kernel/gentoo-sources. You can see the same behavior from the emerge command if you do an 'emerge -pv alsa'

Even though I agree that the output seems strange, since it was a valid package name, there is nothing that I can fix.
