Bug 351274 – sys-apps/portage: USE flag 'prefix' referenced in conditional '!prefix?' is not in IUSE

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andrew Cann 2011-01-10 08:42:37 UTC]

Hi.
I'm trying to cross-compile/emerge dbus-1.4.1 but portage is complaining:
- sys-apps/dbus-1.4.1 (masked by: invalid: DEPEND: USE flag 'prefix' referenced in conditional '!prefix?' is not in IUSE)

According to someone on the gentoo forums this is a problem with virtualx.eclass

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




Portage 2.1.9.24 (embedded, gcc-4.4.4, unavailable, 2.6.34-gentoo-r12 x86_64)

USE=prefix should be portage internal, so this shouldn't happen

[Comment 2 Fabian Groffen 2011-01-10 11:44:35 UTC]

it's defined in the profiles IIRC, so where do they come from?

[Comment 3 Zac Medico 2011-01-10 11:46:36 UTC]

In cvs, I've masked prefix in profiles/embedded/use.mask so that emerge will allow this.
