In /etc/portage/package.use/package.use and just add the line:

x11-wm/mutter wayland

That should work.  It may add more that need the same USE flag tho. If=20
so, just keep adding similar lines for those packages.

Well, I am still having problems with this update -- the most serious of =
which is that the attempt to update devlibs/liblouis thinks there a =
problem with the use flags, but I am not sure where a duplicate use flag =
is coming from.

Here is my most recent attempt:

NOTE: Use the '--verbose-conflicts' option to display parents omitted =
above

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously.  If such a conflict exists in
the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can
not be installed simultaneously.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man
page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
