Don't know if it's a problem caused by a new version of Portage, but if you add "+" in front of a use flag it generates an error:

root@Brick docs # USE="-guile +libgda" emerge -pv gnumeric
USE flags should not start with a '+': +libgda 

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

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] gnome-extra/libgda-1.0.1  -odbc -postgres -mysql -ldap -firebird -freetds -sqlite -mdb -oci8 -doc 
[ebuild  N    ] app-office/gnumeric-1.2.2  +libgda -gnomedb +python -bonobo 

Thanks to Kim Bay Smith for reporting

How weird, just received an e-mail about this one, fixed it, then received a bugreport from a different person. Is it full moon somewhere? :)

Anyway, thanks. It's fixed now.
