Description Patrick 2008-07-19 08:46:24 UTC 
If EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS contains -k / --usepkg, the emerge call that python-updater issues just causes the binary packages to be installed again, with no effect.

Suggestions:
* If -k / --usepkg is the only option specified in EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, python-updater could just add '--ignore-default-opts' to emerge's option list.
* If it contains additional options, it should tell the user about the problem and abort.

Reproducible: Always

--getbinpkg, --getbinpkgonly, --usepkg and --usepkgonly options will be filtered out off EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS environment variable.
