Alex, Yes this is correct. I see now I was far too wordy in the OP and thank you for your terse translation! Typically when I solve a "gentoo system problem" by adding modifying package.use, I am doing something wrong. (e.g. ruby_targets_ruby19). I gather that the udev/hwdb/udisk case is an exception. The "correct way" to solve this "gentoo system problem" is to "echo sys-fs/udev hwdb >> /etc/portage/package.use" Thank you, Chris
