A mistake of mine today reported this: something happened with egencache, cowardly refusing to continue regen-run-20110309-1505.log ERROR: failed parsing sys-apps/pcsc-lite/metadata.xml: <pcsc-lite-1.7.0 it really shouldn't have happened because repoman should have caught that first.
For clarification, the line: ERROR: failed parsing sys-apps/pcsc-lite/metadata.xml: <pcsc-lite-1.7.0 is the only line provided by egencache, the rest is the rsync-gen.sh script output (infra).
repoman support has been removed per bug 835013. Please file a new bug (or, I suppose, reopen this one) if you feel this check is still applicable to pkgcheck and doesn't already exist.
