Description Christoph 2011-02-10 17:10:57 UTC 
In the COMMANDS section of the ebuild(1) manpage is written: "For information on what this variable is, run emerge [-v] info, or to override this variable, see make.conf(5)." 
But the emerge [-v] info command would like to emerge an package called info instead of displaying the variables which emerge --info does

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. type man ebuild
2. read ebuild
3. try to execute emerge [-v] info

Actual Results:  
The packet app-vim/info is installed

Expected Results:  
The portage variables should be displayed (emerge --info)

This is fixed in 2.1.9.40 and 2.2.0_alpha24.
