A recent update brought about two bugs. This is the first of those. The package emul-linux-x86-qtlibs-20091004_rc1 causes an emerge failure because it is looking for the arts USE flag on emul-linux-x86-soundlibs-20091004_rc1. As far as I know, and I was also told by another, the arts USE flag is deprecated...and has been for quite some time. Why is it being resurrected? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge emul-linux-x86-qtlibs-20091004_rc1 2. emerge fails. Portage complains. See message below 3. Actual Results: core-too ~ # emerge -auvND system world --keep-going These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies ... done! emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy ">=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-soundlibs-20091004_rc1[arts]". !!!
