[gentoo-user] issue on binary merge

Hi List,

can some explain this? Machine A+B have identical make.conf (expect in 3
USE-falgs), /etc/portage/*, /usr/portage, profile.

Machine A:
- FEATURES="buildpkg"
- added USE-flag "samba"
- emerge -uD --newuse world
* builds new samba package
* rebuilds some packages (kdebase, cups, mplayer etc.)

Machine B:
- mount PGKDIR of machine A via nfs to PGKDIR on machine B
- added USE-flag "samba"
- emerge -uD --newuse --usepkg world
* merges binary samba
* does not merge anything else (no binary, no ebuild )

It would be nice if I understand why emerge won't remerge binary packages
with changed use-flags.

THX,

Sascha.

It doesn't know that kdebase, cups etc need rebuilding unless you use
the --newuse option
