Description Thomas Capricelli 2010-04-03 23:11:05 UTC

i have -semantic-desktop because kde is bloated enough already. It works fine with most packages, but the set @kde requires it:

emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy ">=kde-base/kdelibs-4.4.2[semantic-desktop,-kdeprefix,-aqua]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- kde-base/kdelibs-4.4.2 (Change USE: +semantic-desktop)
(dependency required by "kde-base/nepomuk-4.4.2" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "@kde" [argument])

I think @kde should require nepomuk only if semantic-desktop is turned on.

Reproducible: Always

Sorry, this is how sets work. They don't support USE flags like meta packages do. You have two alternatives here:
1) Use metas, we don't like sets do be honest ;)
2) Create your own set in /etc/portage/sets/
Thanks
