Description Ian Abbott 2011-08-17 17:45:03 UTC 
euse builds the list of files found in cascading/stackable profiles in the wrong order when the 'parent' file contains more than one line.

For example, when "/etc/make.profile" links to "/usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop", the euse script sets:

MAKE_DEFAULTS='/usr/portage/profiles/targets/desktop/make.defaults /usr/portage/profiles/releases/make.defaults /usr/portage/profiles/releases/10.0/make.defaults /usr/portage/profiles/features/multilib/make.defaults /usr/portage/profiles/features/multilib/lib32/make.defaults /usr/portage/profiles/arch/amd64/make.defaults /usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/make.defaults /usr/portage/profiles/base/make.defaults'

It should set:

MAKE_DEFAULTS='/usr/portage/profiles/base/make.defaults /usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/make.defaults /usr/portage/profiles/features/multilib/make.defaults /usr/portage/profiles/features/multilib/lib32/make.defaults /usr/portage/profiles/arch/amd64/make.defaults /usr/portage/profiles/releases/make.defaults /usr/portage/profiles/releases/10.0/make.defaults /usr/portage/profiles/targets/desktop/make.defaults'

Reproducible: Always

Comment 2 Ian Abbott 2011-08-18 09:50:26 UTC 
Note that this bug causes most mischief on profiles containing negative USE flags, such as the "server" profiles.  For example, for the "/usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/x86/10.0/server" profile, "euse -g -i perl python" shows the "perl" and "python" USE flags as enabled by default when in reality they are disabled by default for that profile.
