Which is 100% correct behavior. Nothing in your system needed MySQL
installed, and qt-sql was merged without the "mysql" USE flag.
Except that it hadn't happened before. The system had been sitting happily
humming away, being updated daily, and then suddenly it realised that it had
excess packages on its hands. I couldn't see anything to explain why it
happened just yesterday, not a week or a fortnight ago.
The warning was here. You just missed it :-) Recently, I did an
"emerge -auDN world", and there was a USE flag change. Namely "mysql"
was removed from the default enabled flags of qt-sql, marked as "-mysql"
in a yellow color.
Yeah, it's easy to miss. But using Gentoo for quite a while now, I've
learned to pay attention to the smallest detail in the output of emerge
before entering "y" ;-)
