Description Christopher Smith 2011-06-10 07:41:32 UTC 
I synced the Portage tree yesterday and got an updated libtool.eclass dated 9 June.  When trying to build any packages that inherit it, Portage dies while evaluating the eclass.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Emerge any package inheriting libtool.eclass.

Can you please attach emerge --info? Because none of my five systems here has trouble with that syntax.
Comment 4 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-06-10 10:14:55 UTC 
I've switched to a safer syntax, but I'd still like to see your emerge --info.

Comment 6 Christopher Smith 2011-06-10 16:13:36 UTC 
I'm now getting a complaint about the same item on a different line; I don't think it was the parentheses:

/usr/portage/eclass/libtool.eclass: line 32: syntax error near unexpected token `>'
/usr/portage/eclass/libtool.eclass: line 32: `          &>> "${T}/elibtool.log"'


It looks like it (bash?) doesn't like the second ">" in "&>>", and I don't see anything matching "&>>" in the list of esoteric redirections.  What's it supposed to do?
Comment 7 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-06-10 16:18:19 UTC 
Sigh, it looks like only bash4 supports that (which actually makes me wonder why you got bash 3 still).
Comment 8 Christopher Smith 2011-06-13 04:33:11 UTC 
Upgrading to bash-4 resolved the issue, and apparently that ebuild didn't trigger the bug.  Not sure if this makes it "resolved" or "invalid", but my problem's fixed.  Thanks!
