Then emerge told me, that it wants to downgrade to util-linux-2.12, because I hade set USE=loop-aes for that. Util-linux-2.19.something was on the road too... After some inverstigation I thought USE=crypt had replced USE=loop-aes, I removed USE=loop-aes and emerged util-linux. I upgraded loop-aes to 3.6c Emerge decided to install util-linux-2.19.something. Now, I got this: emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy ">=sys-apps/util-linux-2.12r[crypt,loop-aes]". !!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request: - sys-apps/util-linux-2.18-r1 (Change USE: +loop-aes) (dependency required by "sys-fs/loop-aes-3.6c" [installed]) (dependency required by "@selected" [set]) (dependency required by "@world" [argument]) I totally confused here. What is the difference of USE=loop-aes and USE=crypt? Why are the versions oscillate that way? HELP ! :) Thank you very much for any hint in advance!:) Best regards mcc
