Description Andrei Slavoiu 2017-11-22 22:37:15 UTC
The ebuild for daimonin-client-0.10.8 contains the folowing brain fart:
REQUIRED_USE="music"

If a use flag is no longer optional, just remove it. There is no benefit from getting an error from portage that I need to enable it or I can not emerge the new version.

If there actualy is a reason for portage to accept that statement I'm sure this is not a valid use case of it.
