Description Paul Varner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-01-08 12:46:29 UTC 
I'm in the process of updating the kernelmod-rebuild script to be able to use portage 2.0.50 through the updated gentoolkit.  While testing functionality of the new equery package, I hit a case that cause portage.py to print a lot (over 2000) debug statements.  I tracked the offending statement down to line 5027 in portage.py and commented it out to allow me to see the output that I desired.  It would be nice if debug statements would be directed to stderr instead of stdout as that wpuld allow people to redirect stderr if they output of the debug messages was undesirable for what they were doing. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge gentoolkit-0.2.0_pre1
2. run equery belongs /etc
3. run equery belongs /etc 2>/dev/null

Actual Results:  
Lots of debug statements interspersed with the expected output in both cases.

Expected Results:  
Same results for the first case, In the second case, only the output from the
equery command should be printed to the screen.
