portage asks to enable threads USE

[drobbins]

Yes, this is more an issue of a bad error message that is confusing rather than anything else. Adding "www-servers/apache threads" to /etc/portage/package.use or /etc/portage/package.use/apache should fix this as then all the deps should be happy.

@Oleg Vinichenko, I do think that this is probably not the greatest default -- it seems like we should enable 'threads' by default to prevent this from even bothering users. Do you see any potential downside for this?

[Oleg Vinichenko]

i think it could be good default to have apache compiled with threads. i cannot tell about downsides so far, unless there are ebuilds that do not want apache[threads]. need research
