[Description joseph 2003-03-12 08:25:15 UTC]

When running emerge -pe system, I get:
....
[ebuild  N   ] sys-apps/portage-2.0.47-r8
*** Please update portage to the above version before proceeding.
    Failure to do so may result in failed or improper merges.
    A simple 'emerge -u portage' is sufficient.

Hi,
  Very minor bug. 

[Comment 2 joseph 2003-03-24 04:02:42 UTC]

Hi,
  I found out the reason:
  in /usr/lib/portage/bin/, file emerge, line 992, where:
          if mysplit[1]+"-"+mysplit[2]!=portage.VERSION:
  it should be:
          if mysplit[1]+mysplit[2]!=portage.VERSION:
  since mysplit[2] contains "-"

  There is also a same comparision on line 983.  It should also be changed.

I was unable to reproduce this bug. Please reopen if the problem persists.

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2003-12-06 19:05:35 UTC]

yes, latest version of portage has had that "-" removed
