The integrated cowsay in the python emerge script is broken (emerge moo). See the screenshot. I get the same result in gnomes terminal, xterm, konsole and in a tty. My current Portage version is 2.0.51.22-r2. How to fix: The problem is in the emerge python script (/usr/lib/portabe/bin/emerge) at line 301. The last character in this line is a single '\'. This should be replaced with a "\\", because in a python """...""" string a single '\' as last character in one line produces problems, like that it is interpreted as an <tab> instead of a newline. How it is: < Have you mooed today? > ----------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || || How it should be: < Have you mooed today? > ----------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\\ ||----w | || || Works perfect for me, and when typing "emerge moo" the tail looks like this: ")\/\" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
