So, portage is ignoring my USE flags. Do I need a hammer for this to
work? Is this me or what? I'm confused.
The arts use flag has been masked, that why it is parenthesised.
% grep arts /usr/portage/profiles/base/use.mask
# Mask USE arts. Deprecated. Remove this entry when kdelibs-3 is out of
tree.

You need to add -arts to /etc/portage/profile/use.mask
While I was searching with Google, it is said this can be gotten rid of
which I don't mind doing. As long as the sound works, which others says
it does, then I'm fine without it. When I disable it, or remove it from
make.conf, it won't re-emerge anything when I run emerge -uvDN world.
The key part being the -N of course.
arts was a disgusting piece of crap that never should have been suffered to
live. You never needed it then and you certainly don't need it now. It's been
abandoned for many years now (at least 4?)
Well, if it would let me ditch it, I would ditch it. I guess it is KDE
that wants this thing so badly. I dunno.
Anyway, I don't have that file so do I just create it? Is it sort of
like a package.unmask file?
Yes. It's your locally defined USE flag mask, identical in purpose to the one
the devs place into your profile
I echo'd it in and it is rebuilding stuff as we speak. Maybe it will
work when all this gets done.
Thanks.
