It works, but since USE=multislot violates established rules about "constant metadata", cached SLOT value differs from the SLOT value that you will actually get once the package is installed. There is nothing portage can do about this except to implement an extension such as bug #174407. This issue is probably worthy of a FAQ entry since it's very confusing for users. I've added a faq entry for this: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/portage/doc/faq.xml#doc_chap1_sect7 Zac, Thanks for that clear explanation. Closing this bug as RESOLVED/LATER. - John I'll just dupe this against bug 174407 now so we don't have to dig it up later. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 174407 *** |
