Was getting error as reported in Bug 15438 when doing an emerge -u fam-oss, here's output: bash-2.05a# emerge -u fam-oss Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) app-admin/fam-oss-2.6.9-r1 to / >>> md5 ;-) fam-2.6.9.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking fam-2.6.9.tar.gz * Cannot find $EPATCH_SOURCE! Value for $EPATCH_SOURCE is: * * /var/tmp/portage/fam-oss-2.6.9-r1/work/patch !!! ERROR: app-admin/fam-oss-2.6.9-r1 failed. !!! Function epatch, Line -7853, Exitcode 0 !!! Cannot find $EPATCH_SOURCE! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -u fam-oss 2. 3. Actual Results: bash-2.05a# emerge -u fam-oss Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) app-admin/fam-oss-2.6.9-r1 to / >>> md5 ;-) fam-2.6.9.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking fam-2.6.9.tar.gz * Cannot find $EPATCH_SOURCE!

Expected Results: Should compile as normal Looks like the "fix" for Bug 15438 fixed that issue, but the fix is not working for my system. n.b. I'm running gcc 2.95.3 on a 1.2 machine
Todd: is it that difficult for you to reopen a bug ?
was another mistake of mine in the ebuild, is fixed in the tree. Sorry for the trouble.
