Hi,
yes, of course ! :O)
recently I had to "emerge e world" (I had CHOST wrongly set, but this
is another story).
After cairo was emerged there was another package, which wants cairo
to be reinstalled with USE="X" set.
OK, I did an
export USE="X"; emerg cairo
...and forgot to
unset USE
afterwards.
A couple of packages now have "X*" in their description when doing
emerge -pv <package>
Unfortunately I dont now, whether the original settings of those
packages were
USE="......... -X"........"
or
USE="................." (no X mentioned at all).
I now want to re-emerge those packages with those settings, which
were originally choosen by the gentoo team for those packages,
regardless what I set on the commandline accidently.
(sorry for my german English...)
Keep hacking and thank you very much for your help in advance!
mcc
PS: Or is it better to hack a (what?) system file and remove the "X*"
settings there and re-emerge those packages with no extra settings on
the command line?
