Hi,

 yes, of course ! :O)

 recently I had to "emerge e world" (I had CHOST wrongly set, but this
 is another story).

 After cairo was emerged there was another package, which wants cairo
 to be reinstalled with USE="X" set.

 OK, I did an

	 export USE="X"; emerg cairo

 ...and forgot to 

	unset USE

 afterwards.

 A couple of packages now have "X*" in their description when doing

   emerge -pv <package>

 Unfortunately I dont now, whether the original settings of those
 packages were

   USE="......... -X"........"

 or

   USE="................."   (no X mentioned at all).
 
 I now want to re-emerge those packages with those settings, which
 were originally choosen by the gentoo team for those packages,
 regardless what I set on the commandline accidently.

 (sorry for my german English...)

 Keep hacking and thank you very much for your help in advance!
 mcc

 PS: Or is it better to hack a (what?) system file and remove the "X*"
 settings there and re-emerge those packages with no extra settings on
 the command line?
