In Portage 2.2 folders in stead of files are used in /etc/portage/*.keyword. the following path can fix flagedit to work with the folder structure Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Apply the following patch: Filename: flagedit.0.0.7.patch 8,14c8,14 < our $VERSION='0.0.7'; < my $uf_file = '/etc/portage/package.use'; < my $kw_file = '/etc/portage/package.keywords'; < my $mc_file = '/etc/make.conf'; < my $portage_dir = '/usr/portage'; < my $alpha_order = 0; < my $strict = 0; --- > our $VERSION='0.0.7.1'; > my $uf_file = (-d '/etc/portage/package.use' ? '/etc/portage/package.use/monolithic' : '/etc/portage/package.use'); #useflag file > my $kw_file = (-d '/etc/portage/package.keywords' ? '/etc/portage/package.keywords/monolithic' : '/etc/portage/package.keywords'); #keyword file > my $mc_file = '/etc/make.conf'; #make.conf file in etc > my $portage_dir = '/usr/portage'; #directory where portage is installed > my $alpha_order = 0; > my $strict = 0; then run: sudo patch -p0 < flagedit.0.0.7.patch /usr/bin/flagedit Actual Results: Also described in: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_Portage_Correctly in section: Package.* Folders
Thanks for submitting this enhancement, assigning to flagedit maintainer who also is the upstream flagedit developer :) For future patch submissions, please note the "create a new attachment" link in the little table -- that is where proposed patches are meant to go.

I dont really know enough perl to fix this, but the solution would be no to create the .old backups if the *.package structure is found, or store them at another place that is not sourced by eix/portage. best regards
New version flagedit-0.0.8 should implement that feature. Let me know of any bug.
