When running emerge -l development-sources, no changelog is displayed. I also
checked this against vanilla-sources, gentoo-sources, and usermode-sources. It
seems as though no changelogs will be displayed for any ebuilds under
/usr/portage/sys-kernel.

When running emerge -l development-sources, no changelog is displayed. I also
checked this against vanilla-sources, gentoo-sources, and usermode-sources. It
seems as though no changelogs will be displayed for any ebuilds under
/usr/portage/sys-kernel. 
I´ve verified the -l option works with other ebuilds such as thinkpad and vim.
I´ve also verified there is a Changelog file located in each ebuild directory.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run emerge -l development-sources
2. run emerge -l vanilla-sources
3. run emerge -l gentoo-sources

Actual Results:  
localhost root # emerge -l gentoo-sources
>>> --changelog implies --pretend... adding --pretend to options.

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R  ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r5

Listing Changelogs only works when you're updating packages, not for installing a package for the first time or recompiling it (see the N and R in your output, it only works if there is an U).

I already explained it, no more error reports -> closing
