So the package (or at least the version, see below) has not been changed since last time. > It could be that the package is always compiled with qt4, or that it's > always disabled, or that `make` detects it automatically. The best > things to look at are the ebuild and the changelog. There is no changelog for this package :-( In the ebuild, the only occurrence of the string "qt4" is: src_prepare() { # https://github.com/qingfengxia/qhexedit still bundled # x11-libs/qscintilla[qt4?,qt5?] still bundled # ^^^^ find libs/{antlr-2.7.7,qcustomplot-source} -delete || die cmake-utils_src_prepare } I don't think this is responsible for the emerge output. Is it possible for the ebuild to change (in particular, for USE flags to be removed) without a change in version number? -- Please *no* private Cc: on mailing lists and newsgroups Personal signed mail: please _encrypt_ and sign Don't clear-text sign: http://cr.yp.to/smtp/8bitmime.html
