fixed in cvs
I have the same problem with 'emerge -DUK'. When can we expect to see the fix in the portage tree?
which portage version ? Considering that the comment is over a month old the fix should be out by now (but -k and -K are different so errors could differ too).
portage 2.0.49-r3 still has the bug portage 2.0.49-r7 is OK
