Hi,

would anybody please be so kind to explain to me how
emerge --update --newuse --deep @system @world
works.

E.g. it wants to  re-emerge sys-devel/gcc because of the
"new use flag nptl"  according to

[ebuild   R   ] sys-devel/gcc-4.4.0  USE="nptl%*" 
[ebuild   R   ] sys-devel/gcc-4.3.3-r2  USE="nptl%*" 

But, looking at the corresponding ebuild files they don't
use (IUSE or other) such a use flag.
But why then does emerge want to rebuild those packages.?

(I'm using portage 2.2_rc33)

Many thanks for an explanation,
Helmut.
