Believe what you like, I am relating direct experiences here. Faith has nothing to do with it. > > If a package is 'hit' by the new flag, --newuse should cover it. With > or without --deep- When run with --update only, emerge considers only those packages listed in world and their direct dependencies. Lower level dependencies won't be looked at, so portage won;t pick up the changed USE flag. From the man page --deep (-D) When used in conjunction with --update, this flag forces emerge to consider the entire dependency tree of packages, instead of checking only the immediate dependencies of the packages. As an example, this catches updates in libraries that are not directly listed in the dependencies of a package. -- Neil Bothwick "Did you sleep well?" "No, I made a couple of mistakes."
