Created attachment 402928 [details, diff] Patch to let package.use mark the values as local If /etc/portage/package.use contains the line app-portage/elogv -* then falsely it is assumed that -* is set globally in USE. IMHO the bug is that the flags from package.use are marked as "global" instead of "local"; I attach a patch which fixes the issue. Actually, I recognized the issue only because additionally ufed does not support the new /etc/portage/package.use syntax which is available at least since portage-2.2.18: In my case the above line read app-portage/elogv PYTHON_TARGETS: -* python2_7 meaning to unset all python_targets_* and set only python_targets_python2_7. That in this case a global -* is assumed caused a horrible malfunction of ufed, of course...

Stabilisation of ufed-0.96 in bug 720388.
I am sorry guys, this bug got past me somehow. This is quite unnerving, as the cause is a simple typo. (It should have been "local" in the first place) How can I change my E-Mail address? The one registered with Gentoo Bugzilla is swarmed with spam, no wonder I missed that one. Martin, Ulrich, thanks for fixing this!

Your Bugzilla e-mail address can be changed here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=account You'd also want to update your address in metadata.xml files, either file a bug for this, or a PR on github. (Feel free to CC me and I'll take care of it.)
