Reading this thread, I checked and I to have this USE flag turned
off/disabled/whatever. I removed it from make.conf and commented out
everything else I found in /etc/portage and am checking to see what all
had to be rebuilt. I figure I may as well change now while I have a
otherwise stable system, except for the sddm-helper chewing memory
problem, and get ahead of the curve. ;-) Using that grep -r trick
comes in handy. Learned that from this list too.
It's odd how following a thread that may not even affect you ends up
doing so. :/
Just in case, this is what emerge spit out on my screen.
Calculating dependencies... done!
