Code: Select all

etcat -u <package>

Reports no use flags. This is a new system build and I am unsure oh what it wrong.

Code: Select all

toolbox portage # etcat -u gnome
[ Colour Code : set unset ]
[ Legend   : (U) Col 1 - Current USE flags        ]
[          : (I) Col 2 - Installed With USE flags ]
toolbox portage #
