This bug is a real nonsense, but It may be confusing. Some atoms (parameters) are case sentitive and doesn't work for some emerge options, and same may be not case sensitive to another options. Example of reproduction: emerge -s imageMagick (works) Searching... [ Results for search key : imageMagick ] [ Applications found : 1 ] * media-gfx/imagemagick Latest version available: 6.2.5.5 Latest version installed: 6.2.5.5 Size of files: 4,926 kB Homepage: http://www.imagemagick.org/ Description: A collection of tools and libraries for many image formats License: as-is emerge -pv imageMagick (does not work) >>> --pretend disables --ask... removing --ask from options. These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "imageMagick". emerge --version: Portage 2.1.1_pre2-r4 (default-linux/amd64/2006.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.3.6-r4, 2.6.16-gentoo-r11 x86_64)
Well, -s doesn't take atoms but search queries, so this isn't inconsistent. Atoms and CPV entries are always case sensitive.
