When I use the "emerge -pf <something; kde, for sample>" then some of the URLs are torn. E.g. http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/distfssl nan ... iles/ Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. just start "emerge -pf kde" and check the result. Actual Results: see details. Expected Results: provide the right URL The problem occurs because of the kde ebuild script uses the "use" function that defined in the ebuild.sh. This function has the "echo \"${x}\"" instruction (ebuild.sh, line 85). Being printed, the x variable tears the output. When this line is commented, it seems like everything works well (at least I emerged some distfiles w/o any problems).
Hmmm.... Ok. Legal use of 'use', but the extra output is damaging in a weird way. Uncommenting the tty method instead.
