I can't reproduce this. However, this is similar to a bug reported on one of the mailing lists. If it's the same bug, it's been fixed for a few days. Try rsyncing to see if you have the new version. The bug which was fixed was: "jpeg? (media-libs/jpeg )" ie. the lack of whitespace between the '(' and 'm'. :-/ Matt
