So re-emerge it if you want nls, or don't if you don't want it. What's your trouble? You seem to have misunderstood. I can reemerge it all I like, that won't fix my problem. My problem is this: Whenever I emerge -uvDN world, it tries to reemerge the package, regardless of my USE flags. What seems to me to be happening, I describe below, but I could easily be wrong; whether or not I am correct, this is still a problem. It shouldn't keep trying to reemerge a package when I've already emerged that package and *absolutely nothing has changed* to make it need to reemerge. Something, somewhere is broken. What seems to me to be hapening is this: emerge seems to think that dev-util/dialog has an nls use flag, when every tool (except one part of eix's output) tells me that it does not have such a flag. Therefore, when I ask it to update, it decides to reemerge dev-util/dialog, either adding or removing the new USE flag "nls" from it, since it didn't have that USE flag in previous versions. I suggest you take a closer look at the eix output I provided. Doesn't it strike you as odd that "nls" is listed as a USE flag after the "Available versions" string but is not listed as a USE flag after "USE:"? Fix/update your eix cache (or any other tools cache); there's nothing wrong the ebuild. |
