That's not an atom, it's a USE flag. The format of package.use is atom USE [USE...] so you want something like media-video/mkvtoolnix qt5 You seem to be assuming that portage picks up the package name from the file name, it does not. The contents of all of package.use/* are combined as if a single file before portage does its stuff. This is all explained in the portage man page. -- Neil Bothwick To most people solutions mean finding the answers. But to chemists solutions are things that are still all mixed up.
