Anyway I have only such problems > with amd64 to install kde-meta or maybe anyone else? If I understand you correctly, then you only set useflags when you invoke emerge? As in "USE="foo" emerge foobar". Is this how you're doing it or am I just misunderstanding? If it is how you're doing it, then I would suggest that you start using your /etc/portage/package.use file instead (it doesn't exist by default, you have to make the directory and the file) and add the use flags you want for the package you're about to install. This way it'll be a permanent useflag that isn't overwritten next time that specific package needs an update. > > Thank you for your help and time. > > Best wishes, > Andrzej > Zeerak
