The original post in this thread mentioned two different things: 1 - newer debian sources in the treee but not offered for installation 2 - a version of plex-media-server not offered for installation where a newer version should be available (e.g. for gentoo) My answer was to number 1. When you see a newer version in the tree than is offered to you by emerge, it is often because a keyword is missing. And yes, it is up to you to set this keyword or not. Number 2 is mostly because the developers haven't had the time to add the newer ebuilds into the tree. In that case you can always go to bugs.funtoo.org and request it to be added, like it was done in here: https://bugs.funtoo.org/browse/FL-3546

And here is your answer, why you don't see the new debian versions in the normal update. You still need to add the keyword ** for them.

What is the output of emerge -pv ="debian-sources-4.14.17" ?

I don't know if appi is the culprit, ego wants to install appi if it is not installed. But I see a difference in the way ego is installed with @NikosAlexandris compared to @cardinal and me. Nikos seems to have set the USE flag "zsh-completion" while cardinal and I have set it to "-zsh-completion". Does not make a difference on my system but who knows.

You can use javascript to create css but that are two separate things. And javascript, as well as css, are interpreted by the browser. So, what exactly is the problem?

Problem could be, that qca does not have a use flag qt5. At least the currently visible versions of app-crypt/qca-2.2.0_pre20180606 and app-crypt/qca-2.1.3-r2

The question now is, why this solved the problem because in the first post you said:

Good to exclude the "easy" part ;) And with you moving meta-repo out of the way, that part should be save as well. What version of ego do you have installed? Current version is ego-2.6.0-r2

Have you checked if you have a file called ego.conf in other places on your system that contain different content?

May I add to the confusion? On my system 'emerge -cp' does not want to remove grub, although grub does not seem to be a dependency for anything:

Have you told the OS where it can find the printer?

Do you have the package gdk-pixbuf installed?

I don't use gnome so I can't say if the funtoo gnome 3 version works without systemd. But you can run gnome 3 without systemd, see e.g https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GNOME/GNOME_Without_systemd.

Are you trying to build gcc with the specific CFLAGS directly or are you cross compiling? It also seems to be that the gcc system is currently overhauled for such cases, see https://bugs.funtoo.org/browse/FL-3787 for more information.

Where do you get the idea from that the CFLAGS are dropped? When I look at a build.log file I still see all the CFLAGS I have set.
