heres a snippet from my recent portage upgrade: sleep: invalid time interval `0.1' Try `sleep --help' for more information. sleep: invalid time interval `0.1' Try `sleep --help' for more information. sleep: invalid time interval `0.1' Try `sleep --help' for more information. sleep: invalid time interval `0.1' Try `sleep --help' for more information. sleep: invalid time interval `0.1' Try `sleep --help' for more information.

sorry, correct version is: sys-apps/portage-2.0.48_pre5
All my preX ebuilds including portage-2.0.48_pre5.ebuild have echo -ne "\a" ; sleep 0.1 ; echo -ne "\a" ; sleep 1 line numbers : 169-173 in the portage-2.0.48_pre5.ebuild since sleep inherits each computers locale to understand notations, all locales where a decimal point is NOT represented with a (.) will give an error. locales can be found at /usr/share/locale/local.alias A trivial fix would be a "sleep 1" instead of a "sleep 0.1"
I have portage-2.0.48_pre6 with French locale and still having the bug.
fixed (or should we better say worked around ?)
