I am running an almost purely testing system (ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" with a few packages masked). Most of this is working fine, but occasionaly I find that an emerge fails because either it or a preceding one has clobbered "/etc/profile.env". Here's what it looks like after it has happened: >>> Emerging (3 of 4) app-editors/gvim-7.0.91 to / Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 4262, in ? retval = emerge_main() File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 4257, in emerge_main myopts, myaction, myfiles, spinner) File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 3774, in action_build retval = mergetask.merge(pkglist, favorites, mtimedb) File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2193, in merge prev_mtimes=ldpath_mtimes) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 2853, in doebuild use_cache, mydbapi) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 2538, in doebuild_environment mysettings.reset(use_cache=use_cache) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 1444, in reset self.regenerate(use_cache=use_cache) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 1551, in regenerate env_d = getconfig( File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_util.py", line 286, in getconfig raise portage_exception.ParseError(str(e)+" in "+mycfg) portage_exception.ParseError: 'No closing quotation in /etc/profile.env' At this point, the last few lines of /etc/profile.env are export LESS='-R -M --shift 5' export SGML_CATALOG_FILES='/etc/sgml/openjade-1.3.2.cat:/etc/sgml/sgml-docbook.c at:/etc/sgml/dsssl-docbook-stylesheets.cat:/etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-4.1.cat:/etc/s gml/sgml-docbook-4.0.cat:/etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-3.0.cat:/etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-3 .1.cat:/etc/sgml/sgml-lite.cat:/etc/sgml/xml-docbook-4.1.2.cat:/etc/sgml/xml-doc book-4.4.cat:/etc/sgml/xml-docbook-4.2.cat' export CFLAGS='-O3='' I can edit the file and remove the extra quote at the end and continue, but some ebuilds don't even install because they hit this before they finish. Which ebuilds are doing this? So far, I know of xorg-server and media-libs/mesa. If I run into any others, I'll post them to this bug.
Neither xorg-server not mesa clobbers anything here, and never has... Would be useful to attach the "clobbered" files here.
A little more info -- I did a "watch" on /etc/profile.env while an emerge xorg-server was starting up. This is "when it happened" * checking MesaLib-6.5.1.tar.bz2 ;-) ... [ ok ] * Forcing on xorg-x11 for new enough glxtokens.h...

There was something very much like this in the emerge of media-libs/mesa, so I'd say something in the mesa area is confused.

The > offending line is at the end: > export eP×Ä÷':8ùÛ{~?='' Folks, you should probably check your hardware. Plus, profile.env is *generated*, need the file inside /etc/env.d that contains the broken lines and the name of ebuild that installed the file. If there's none such file, see above.
The problem for me was coming from the eselect call also. It turns out that the /etc/env.d/klive-<id> file was injecting some binary string into profile.env. I removed the klive file and emerge worked.
