When using etc-update, and "auto merge all remaining files" (-3), it it impossible to say no and continue through the list of config files. If you dont want to update a file, pressing n<CR> at the prompt just redisplays the same prompt. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. etc-update 2. select option -3 (auto merge all remaining files) 3. when you see "mv: overwrite `/etc/file'?" press n Actual Results: The same prompt is displayed. Expected Results: The prompt should change to the next file in the list of updates.
portage version 2.0.50-r6
To fix, change lines 256 (in etc-update), from: case ${my_input} in 1) echo "Replacing ${ofile} with ${file}" mv ${mv_opts} ${file} ${ofile} continue to: case ${my_input} in 1) echo "Replacing ${ofile} with ${file}" mv ${mv_opts} ${file} ${ofile} my_input=-1 continue

i have same problem ;P
Confirmed that patch works properly. Added patch to CVS.
This bug has reappeared in portage 2.0.51-r2.
This bug is still open and the patch was added to CVS after the release of portage-2.0.51-r2. How could the problem have "reappeared"?
I seem to be experiencing the same 'bug' in portage-2.0.51-r3
Fixed on or before 2.0.51.22-r1
Looking through the batch of bugs, I'm not sure that some of these are actually fixed in stable. Others, the requirements have possibly changed after the initial fix was committed. If you think this bug has been closed incorrectly, please reopen or ask that it be reopened.
