Now imagine something like this:

The message is entirely useless without making it clear *which* flags are actually required.

This is really cosmetic. Don't bother with it if there are more important things to do. I recently got this: !!! One or more updates have been skipped due to a dependency conflict: dev-python/PyQt4:0 ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-python/PyQt4-4.7', 'merge') conflicts with >=dev-python/PyQt4-4.5[dbus,sql,svg,webkit,X] required by ('installed', '/', 'kde-base/pykde4-4.3.5-r1', 'nomerge') Which was a bit confusing because of course PyQt4-4.7 satisfies >=PyQt4-4.5. Neither from that message, nor from the package list could I tell that PyQt4 would have been merged without the webkit useflag, which was the actual reason for the update being skipped. So I guess it would improve usability if there was some hint in the message, maybe like printing the pending update with its updated useflags, so instead of: ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-python/PyQt4-4.7', 'merge') conflicts with print: ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-python/PyQt4-4.7[dbus,sql,svg,-webkit,X]', 'merge') conflicts with ... Thanks for your time. Reproducible: Always
