Trying to execute the output of emerge (anything) is always going to cause problems.
i didnt actually type '`emerge dshieldpy -gK`' into a terminal, that's stupid i used the `` to indicate the command ... it's a convention i use because it's a lot easier to pick out commands in a block of text if you quote them as such
this is (1) part lack of documentation and (1) part bug in portage worked with nick and he has the fix in cvs while i updated the manpages
