One of the packages in your world requires dev-libs/libgcrypt which was built with the "static-libs" USE flag. So, the line above is telling you to add "static-libs" to your USE flag for that package. > (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]) These are the items that require libgcrypt with static-libs USE flag set. Sometimes changing USE flags on thse packages will change the dependency requirements. Sometimes it's just something new that the maintainer added since a previous version. > What is this saying?

If you don't already have one, you can set package-specific USE flags in /etc/portage/package.use and in this case you'd add a line: dev-libs/libgcrypt static-libs > Thanks for the help! Good luck!
