Description Christoph Mende (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-02-19 22:13:45 UTC 
REQUIRED_USE: malformed syntax: '|| ( a b ) || ( x y )'

same for different bracing formats, including:
- ( || ( a b ) || ( x y ) )
- ( || ( a b ) ) ( || ( x y ) )

I think it's just that one of your flags is missing from IUSE. Hopefully that's the only problem. Anyway, we need it to produce a better error message.
Comment 2 Christoph Mende (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-02-19 22:41:06 UTC 
damn, you're right, I typoed one of the flags.
do you want to keep that bug open for the error message?
Comment 3 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2011-02-19 22:45:07 UTC 
Good. Yes, I'll use this bug for the confusing message.
Comment 5 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2011-02-22 19:52:36 UTC 
This is fixed in 2.1.9.41 and 2.2.0_alpha25.
