See the summary. Also, see xfce-extra/xarchiver for something like what I mean: http://www.gentoo-portage.com/xfce-extra/xarchiver/Dep#ptabs Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge -pv file-roller Actual Results: These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] app-arch/file-roller-2.16.2 USE="-debug -gnome" 0 kB Expected Results: These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] app-arch/file-roller-2.16.2 USE="7zip rar zip -arj -debug -gnome -lha" 0 kB I'm willing to try making the changes to the ebuild, but I haven't done it before, so I will probably need a bit of guidance.

We've already talked about this before, and we have decided against doing this as use flags are only meant for build time deps. Runtime deps such as file compression programs for file-roller don't change the final binary so it's against gentoo practices to put useflags for that. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 144627 ***
