After upgrading to portage 2.0.50_pre20, the /usr/bin/etcat command from
gentoolkit 0.2.0_pre5 is now broken. portage 2.0.50_pre21 is also broken.

$ etcat -b /bin/ls

  File "/usr/bin/etcat", line 664, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/etcat", line 660, in main

Try again with app-portage/gentoolkit-dev please. 
I think this is known and expected behavior and chances are this bug is invalid.

[Comment 2 Jake Hamby 2004-01-30 13:57:05 UTC]

I emerged gentoolkit-dev, but it only added /usr/bin/ekeyword and /usr/bin/echangelog and didn't fix the behavior of /usr/bin/etcat.

[Comment 3 Marius Mauch (RETIRED) 2004-01-30 14:31:33 UTC]

Sorry, my mistake: I cleaned the code a little bit in etcat and forgot to change the belongs(), size() and files() functions. Will be fixed in pre6.

[Comment 4 Marius Mauch (RETIRED) 2004-01-30 14:32:21 UTC]

Forgot to say: pre4 and lower should be ok.

[Comment 5 Marius Mauch (RETIRED) 2004-02-06 16:47:55 UTC]

pre6 is out now
