Descriptions for USE flags are not displayed with equery

      When using equery -u to display the USE flags, with some packages the description for the USE flags is missing and displayed as unknown. E.g for mariadb:

      farout ~ # equery u mariadb
      [ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
      [        : I - package is installed with flag     ]
      [ Colors : set, unset                             ]
