profiles/default-linux/x86/make.defaults was edited 9 hours ago. The part of the change which is important for this bug is that formerly, USE was defined like this: USE="${GRP_STAGE23_USE} ..." After the change, the inclusion of GRP_STAGE23_USE no longer happens. This has the effect of yanking some flags out of USE. For example, in my case (I use the profile default-linux/x86/2004.0), this had the effect of turning off the ipv6 USE flag. Of course, I can turn this flag on manually in /etc/make.conf, but I think this change is a mistake and was not intended to have this effect. Either USE should include GRP_STAGE23_USE or someone should go through every profile which depends on default-linux/x86 and make sure that every entry in GRP_STAGE23_USE also appears in USE. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use portage and notice that certain USE flags are now turned off. 2. 3.

Well, USE should *never* pull in GRP_STAGE23_USE, as that is invalid. I'm going to have to add the flags to USE on each profile. The reason that USE should never pull in GRP_STAGE23_USE is because GRP_STAGE23_USE is supposed to be there to add options to GRP/stages only that won't be added to normal USE. Personally, I don't think GRP_STAGE23_USE should have anything in it except in very special cases, as it will create inconsistent packages/stages. Thanks for pointing this out.
