After trying to update xorg-server I've noticed that eselect opengl corrupts /etc/profile.env (at least at this machine, at home it didn't show these symptoms). After using "eselect opengl set 1" (or 2, nvidia, opengl, whatever), the following line in /etc/profile.env is inserted: export export='' The context of the line: export DISTCC_VERBOSE='' export export='' export EDITOR='vim' Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. eselect opengl set 1 2. 3. Actual Results: See attached profile.env Expected Results: A meaningful entry in profile.env crusoe ~ # emerge --info Portage 2.2_rc40 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0, gcc-4.4.1, glibc-2.10.1-r0,

Created attachment 203339 [details] /etc/profile.env /etc/profile.env after using eselect opengl
Does the bad entry also appear after an "eselect env update"? If yes, is there any file in /etc/env.d/ containing a line like the following: export=""
(In reply to comment #2) > Does the bad entry also appear after an "eselect env update"? Yes, it does. Unfortunately.. > If yes, is there any file in /etc/env.d/ containing a line like the following: > export="" ...there's no file with a broken export line in /etc/env.d/ : ---------------------------8<--------------------------------- crusoe ~ # find /etc/env.d/ | xargs grep -i export /etc/env.d/02editor:export EDITOR="vim" /etc/env.d/02local:export LANG="de_DE.utf8" ----------------------------->8---------------------- These are the only files containing any export lines. In fact doing a broader search ------------------------8<---------------------------- find /etc -type f | xargs grep -i "export=" 2>/dev/null ------------------->8--------------------------------- Will only result in /etc/profile.env:export export='' Right now it looks to me like a bug in eselect..

Delete the "export" from them and do "eselect env update" again, that should fix it. (And you should consider removing 02editor and calling "eselect editor set vim" instead.) > Right now it looks to me like a bug in eselect.. Yes, probably it should be more robust.
(In reply to comment #4) > Delete the "export" from them and do "eselect env update" again, that should > fix it. (And you should consider removing 02editor and calling "eselect editor > set vim" instead.) That did the trick :-) The culprit was 02local, now there's export LANG='de_DE.utf8' where export export='' used to be. > Yes, probably it should be more robust. Strangely, this setup used to work for a couple of month here (and still works at home) - I guess an update to eselect changed something in the code. Anyway, thank you for your help - I'm closing the bug now.
> I'm closing the bug now. env.eselect should not silently corrupt its output. Therefore not fixed -> reopening.
Fixed in SVN r641: <http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/eselect?rev=641&view=rev>
eselect-1.2.1 released. Thank you for reporting the issue.
