My usb-hotplug script broke after a large update. Turned out that gphoto was compliled without USB support. Re-emerging both with USE="usb" fixed the problem, *BUT* there is no 'usb' use flag listed by 'etcat -u gphoto2'... Not a big deal, but caused me a few moments of confusion -- the previous ebuild of gphoto built USB support without the 'usb' USE flag being set, and it /looked/ like the new one did too... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Expected Results: Supplied proper usage information in it's USE flags.
there is no usb useflag for either package. I don't know how setting it should have fixed anything. libgphoto2 does debend on libusb directly.
