Description Jesse Luehrs 2004-12-21 02:07:36 UTC
When using --newuse, dependencies are never searched for changed use flags. For example, 

doy@ridley doy $ emerge -pvD --newuse world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!

doy@ridley doy $ emerge -pve world | grep '*'
[ebuild  N    ] media-libs/freetype-2.1.5-r1  -bindist +cjk* -debug +doc +zlib 0 kB 
*** Please update portage to the above version before proceeding.
[ebuild  N    ] app-text/ghostscript-7.07.1-r7  +X +cjk* +cups -debug -emacs 4,875 kB 
[ebuild  N    ] sys-libs/slang-1.4.9-r1  +cjk* +unicode 0 kB

[ebuild  N    ] dev-lang/ruby-1.8.2_pre3  +cjk* -debug +doc -socks5 +tcltk -threads 194 kB 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change a global use flag
2. emerge -pvD --newuse world
3. 

Actual Results:  
Packages in world file with changed use flags are listed, but deps with changed
use flags are not


Expected Results:  
With the -D flag, emerge should search dependencies for changed use flags

# emerge -pvD --newuse world
is almost the same as
# emerge -pv --newuse world
which is pretty much nothing.

Use --deep with --update if you wish for it to do much of anything.
