Whenever I try to emerge php the script complains about missing or "too much" use-flags. So I added / removed them in my package.use file. The initial compiling works, but the second run (I let portage build binary packages) fails always when the USE flags are not correctly set in make.conf. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
you neglected to provide `emerge info` also please attach your package.use
also attach this error output that you see.
also attach the steps that involve the second run that creates binary packages.
I'm not the OP but here is the info I have. I want to emerge php/mod_php. It tells me USE:berkdb need USE:dba. No problem, I add dba to /etc/portage/package.use:dev-php/php. Now I can emerge php BUT, since I also have "buildpkg" in FEATURES, when portage wants to merge the binary it says: $ sudo emerge -kv {mod_php,php} Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 2) dev-php/php-5.0.1 to / >>> extracting info * USE flag 'berkdb' needs these additional flag(s) set: * dba * * You can do this by enabling these flags in /etc/portage/package.use: * =php-5.0.1/php-5.0.1 dba * * You could disable this flag instead in /etc/portage/package.use: * =php-5.0.1/php-5.0.1 -berkdb !!!

BTW, a workaround is: USE=dba sudo emerge -kv php mod_php
