When I try to run an emerge world, I get this error: # emerge --update --deep -p world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy "dev-libs/libgcrypt[static-libs]". !!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request: - dev-libs/libgcrypt-1.4.6 (Change USE: +static-libs) (dependency required by "sys-fs/cryptsetup-1.1.3-r3[-dynamic]" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "sys-apps/hal-0.5.14-r4[crypt]" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "@selected" [set]) (dependency required by "@world" [argument]) What is this saying? That I need to locate a use flag "static-libs" and change it for package libgcrypt? Presumably it is libgcrypt which is dissatisfied. I'm having difficulty parsing the mssage. Next question: what should I do about it? Thanks for the help! -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
