In man portage I see examples of using package.use
Its listed with address /etc/portage/package.use and shows usage like
this:
some/package:useflag (to add a specific use flag)
I want to subtract a use flag so trying:
(tried with and without quotes just in case the dash (-) was not
acceptable unquoted:
net-analyzer/tcpdump:"-samba"
net-analyzer/tcpdump:-samba
Neither way appears to have an effect on
emerge -vuDNp tcpdump
It still comes up with positive samba use flag. And then when actual
emerging is done, dire warnings are given about using `samba' use
flag.
I'd hoped to use package.use so as not to have to mess with tcpcump
individualy.
Is my syntax wrong or some other problem?
