Now equery utility displays info about _not_ installed version of gnome-base/gvfs. But I see the package name with the same color mark of installed package. Although equery displays info about _not_ installed version. # equery u gnome-base/gvfs [ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation] [ : I - package is installed with flag ] [ Colors : set, unset ] * Found these USE flags for gnome-base/gvfs-1.14.2: U I - - afp : Enables support for accessing AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) network shares - - archive : Enables support for accessing files in archives transparently via app-arch/libarchive - - avahi : Add avahi/Zeroconf support - - bluetooth : Enables Bluetooth Support - - bluray : Enable playback of Blu-ray filesystems using media-libs/libbluray - - cdda : Adds Compact Disk Digital Audio (Standard Audio CD) support - - doc : Adds extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc).

This report is mostly not enchancement request. Oryginally, it was an issue: equery utility don't display listed in ebuild USE. Further analyse showed, that issued USE is masked: /usr/portage/gentoo/profiles/base/package.use.mask: # older gvfs releases have problems with recent stable udisks:2 (bug #463792) <gnome-base/gvfs-1.14 udisks So, in results of query for gnome-base/gvfs-1.12.3-r1, I expect to see NOT miss of USE, but something like: ... + + (udisks) : Enable volume monitoring using sys-fs/udisks Meaning: turned on both by profile and user, but masked. Using the same color mark for installed and not installed version of a package also looks like an issue.
