Hinnerk, Thanks for the decode, but where did YOU get the knowledge
from? I want to understand this, so I don't have to send you an
email every time I get one of these and need it decoded ;)

Ok, I'll try t explain it:

The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied: cgi? (
perl )

First: it states that a REQUIRED_USE flag is not set. That means that
some functionality depends on a special useflag.
The next line states, which useflag is the one in question and which
useflag it needs:
You could interprete "cgi?" as "If cgi is set, then test for the
following" and ( perl ) is the flag which is tested.


The rest is simply for more information:

   The above constraints are a subset of the following complete expression:
     cgi? ( perl ) cvs? ( perl ) subversion? ( perl ) webdav? ( curl )

It follows the same syntax, though.

I hope this si helping...

WKR

What I was looking for is a man page/a wiki page/something in the Gentoo doco pages, but if that's all there is to it, then thanks for the info.
