Description Austin McKinley 2007-07-16 23:37:35 UTC
when emerging net-misc/openssh-4.6_p1-r2 with USE="ldap", i get the following error:

 * Sorry, but this version does not yet support features
 * that you requested:   ldap
 * Please mask openssh-4.6_p1-r2 for now and check back later:
 *  # echo '=net-misc/openssh-4.6_p1-r2' >> /etc/portage/package.mask
 * 

couldn't the ebuild suggest removing the ldap USE flag for that package, as follows?

echo "=net-misc/openssh-4.6_p1-r2 -ldap" >> /etc/portage/package.mask

attached is a patch that adds this line, and removes a line that prints "boooo" as part of the build failure.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.

Yeah, so that people wouldn't be able to login. :)
