portage crash's on final merge of package if one of the filenames clashes with exsisting directory name as in app-editors/scite-1.4.1. trace back points to line 2975 of portage.py "print zing,mydest" due to zing not being set, the relavant output line seems to have been already printed above in line 2924, line 2975 should be within the if statement directly above I think?? ('if moveme:' line 2968) so only one tab ;^)
fixed on cvs.... will be fixed in portage 1.8.20
