I see /etc/make.profile/use.defaults: can I cut some packages there or have I to simply put "-<package>" in USE?
Any idea?

Hi Saruman.
Sometimes having a specific USE flag set will cause a dependency to be emerged, which causes another dependency to be emerged, and so on. Before you know it, an innocent fax program wants to install half the portage tree. 
In your case, hylafax depends on ghostscript; if the cups USE flag is set then ghostscript depends on gimp-print, which depends on gimp and so on. And sure enough, looking at your USE flags I notice that you indeed have cups set.
A good trick when looking at dependencies is to use the following command:
The v option will cause all the USE flags recognized by each package to be displayed. You can then try setting/unsetting USE flags until you are happy with what will be installed, e.g:
| Code: |
USE="-cups" -vp hylafax
|
All changes to your USE flags should be made in /etc/make.conf or by specifying USE flags with the emerge command.
Ciao, Brandy

Great!!! It really works as I expect it now (I didn't know about this -vp option for knowing about which flag causes which package to be emerged  )
Really, really thanks
