Hello, This Bug depends on BUG #20746. Sorry I don't know howto make a exact link/reference to a other BUG. Since portage 2.0.48_pre5 there are a feature for binarie packages. This Feature writing sometimes garbled Message on the Screen. Performing Global Updates: /usr/portage/profiles/updates/1Q-2003 .... and so on I try to write some scripts using emerge. The script output always break down by this garbled messages. I try to add/remove the "fixpackages" to make.conf but it didn't solve the problem. This garbled Message appears some times. It will be OK if this grabled apears after a rsync but not while I try to emerge a package. bye bernd
It's directed to stderr now. So as long as you ignore stderr (or disregard this paricular output) you should be fine. It's a status screen. It can be a rather long process and I don't want people getting confused and killing portage... So I give them something to look at.
