default-linux/amd64/package.use.mask (under /usr/portage/profiles) says the following: # !!! WARNING !!! # MAKE SURE YOU KEEP default-linux/amd64/package.use.mask AND # default-linux/amd64/(dev)?/2007.0/package.use.mask IN SYNC # SEE BUG #168249 FOR DETAILS But they are not synced: cd /usr/portage/profiles diff -u default-linux/amd64/package.use.mask default-linux/amd64/2007.0/package.use.mask It will report some differenced between affected files Thanks :-) Reproducible: Always
Thanks for the report. A couple of us decided that it isn't worth our time trying to figure out which is the correct version. It appears that people have been editting both files at the same time. Since 2007 profiles are deprecated, this won't get fixed unless there is a strict need, and in that case..someone will have to do the research. Short answer: Upgrade your profile and it won't matter.
No problem, I already have the latest profile, I saw this problem some weeks ago while I was "exploring" profiles directories :-)
