euse command doesn't show correct information about ssl flag.

net-ftp/proftpd does not have a local ssl flag use description. It does have an openssl use flag which works correctly. $ grep ssl /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc | grep proftpd net-ftp/proftpd:openssl - Enable dev-libs/openssl support $ euse -i openssl | grep proftpd WARNING: 'portageq envvar PORTDIR' is deprecated.

Again, there is no local description for the ssl flag for proftpd. Since there is not a local description, euse is working correctly and as designed and shows the global description. The fact that the flag is in the ebuild does not mean that someone has defined a local description for that flag. The only flag that is related to ssl that has a local description is the openssl use flag. If you look at /usr/portage/net-ftp/proftpd/metadata.xml, you can see all of the local flag descriptions that are defined. You will see that the ssl flag is not there. If you think there needs to be a better description, then file a bug for proftpd and ask them to add it. At that point euse -i will display whatever they add as a local description.
