 |

Hi,
Is there an easy way to determine why a binary package is not being used?
For example:
I am trying to update the "dev-qt/qtwebengine", but the system did not receive it from the binary host.
emerge -pv dev-qt/qtwebengine
| Code: | | [ebuild U ] dev-qt/qtwebengine-6.8.1:6/6.8.1::gentoo [6.7.2:6/6.7.2::gentoo] USE="alsa bindist* jumbo-build* opengl pulseaudio qml system-icu vulkan widgets -accessibility -custom-cflags -designer -geolocation -kerberos -pdfium -screencast* -test -vaapi -webdriver" 0 KiB |
I downloaded qtwebengine-6.8.1-r1-3.pkg.tar from the binary host and checked the "USE" flags:
| Code: | | abi_x86_64 alsa amd64 bindist elibc_glibc jumbo-build kernel_linux opengl pulseaudio qml system-icu vulkan widgets |
then I added all flags to package.use, but emerge still doesn't use binhost. |

| Tell Portage to use the binary package: emerge --ask --verbose --oneshot --getbinpkgonly '=dev-qt/qtwebengine-6.8.1'. It will do so or explain why not. |

There are few details in the explanation. 
I add to package.use
| Code: | | dev-qt/qtwebengine abi_x86_64 alsa amd64 bindist elibc_glibc jumbo-build kernel_linux opengl pulseaudio qml system-icu vulkan widgets |
because this use flag is in qtwebengine-6.8.1-r1-3.gpkg.tar, but it didn't help.
| Code: | emerge --ask --verbose --oneshot --getbinpkgonly '=dev-qt/qtwebengine-6.8.1'
Local copy of remote index is up-to-date and will be used.
These are the packages that would be merged, in order: dependencies... done!
Dependency resolution took 2.05 s (backtrack: 0/20).
emerge: there are no binary packages to satisfy "=dev-qt/qtwebengine-6.8.1". |
Any other ideas why portage doesn't want to use binary qtwebengine?
UPD.
After emerge-webrsync, portage uses the binary qtwebengine.
Thanks.  |

To clarify this even if it no longer is an issue: You asked portage to install qtwebengine-6.8.1 while your binary package was qtwebengine-6.8.1-r1. Just a revision update, but still technically a different version so it didn't match your request for exactly 6.8.1. |
