On grub-9999 as of r3848 (since Dec 10th actually), I see a similar bug: chmod a+x grub-mkstandalone PATH=.:$PATH /usr/bin/help2man --section=1 -i /var/tmp/portage/sys-boot/grub-9999/work/grub-9999/docs/man/grub-mkstandalone.h2m -o grub-mkstandalone.1 grub-mkstandalone help2man: can't get `--help' info from grub-mkrescue Try `--no-discard-stderr' if option outputs to stderr make[2]: *** [grub-mkrescue.1] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... help2man: can't get `--help' info from grub-mkstandalone Try `--no-discard-stderr' if option outputs to stderr make[2]: *** [grub-mkstandalone.1] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/sys-boot/grub-9999/work/build-guessed' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/sys-boot/grub-9999/work/build-guessed' make: *** [all] Error 2 Attaching build.log, emerge --info. Repeatable on all my Gentoo ~amd64 machines. Thanks.
P.S. I don't know if it's worthy of a separate bug, but can someone update the bzr URL with the trailing slash? * bzr pull start --> * repository: http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/grub/trunk/grub/ http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/grub/trunk/grub is permanently redirected to http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/grub/trunk/grub/ Now on revision 3848. * exporting ... * revision 3848 is now in /var/tmp/portage/sys-boot/grub-9999/work/grub-9999 Thanks.
