After compiling xsane, I get this message at /var/log/portage/2772-xsane-0.97. log: /gentoo/tmp_portage/portage-pkg/xsane-0.97/inf/xsane-0.97.ebuild: line 64: [: =: unary operator expected xsane appears to work, though.

Could not reproduce it, but tried a little modification which possibly fixes it for you. In CVS, thanks for the hint. Closing as WORKSFORME (the worst consequence of this bug could be that you don't see a warning message that you are unlikely to see anyway). Thanks anyway.
Ok, I saw the change you did. From: if [ $OLDXSANE = 'yes' ]; then to: if [ x${OLDXSANE} = 'xyes' ]; then If that is bash (or sh) syntax, you can also use this: if [ "$OLDXSANE" = 'yes' ]; then The double-quotes may solve that too. Maybe you would prefer to change to double-quotes. Thanks, anyway.
