Does it show up in emerge --info? If not, you might have a typo. If so,
it's probably some other missing dependency. (Have you re-emerged PHP
since the USE change?)

Nah, it's inflexible.

This will get the dependencies, but once you uninstall egroupware,
portage won't know why you have them. So if you do an emerge --depclean
later, they'll come up for removal. Eventually you'll forget why you had
them, and let it remove something important (personal experience).

That's why I go to all that trouble with the ebuild in an overlay. A
simpler workaround would be to install the egroupware from portage, and
then ignore it but leave it installed.
