Description Massimiliano Adamo 2007-07-23 08:26:06 UTC

I recently synced portage and I got new flags for pidgin. I got a misleading flag like this: (-msn%)
From 'man emerge' minus stands either for disabled and for removed, but this is a misleading information for end users.
in my opinion, the flag should disappear at all, or should be changed into (+msn%)

Reproducible: Always

Please stop! If you still don't get it, then bugzilla is NOT a support forum.
