this is not an openswan issue. something happened on line 69 of the ebuild stored in your /var/bd/pkg/ directory.

edit /var/db/pkg/net-misc/openswan-2.1.1/openswan-2.1.1.ebuild
fix the error on line 69 and retry.

portage issue, my bad

[Comment 3 Bjarke Istrup Pedersen (RETIRED) 2004-05-27 22:01:00 UTC]

Well, what is the error? I tried commenting out the line (it is an einfo line), that did not work.

[Comment 4 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) 2004-05-28 15:56:49 UTC]

It's probably an eclass called from within the ebuild...

[Comment 5 Jay Pfeifer (RETIRED) 2004-05-28 23:33:48 UTC]

Attach your /var/db/pkg/net-misc/openswan-2.1.1/openswan-2.1.1.ebuild to this bug.

Not pasted as text, as an attachment so we can look @ it as is.

Created attachment 32241 [details]
ebuild

Here is the ebuild from /var/db/pkg

[Comment 7 Jay Pfeifer (RETIRED) 2004-05-29 08:04:13 UTC]

The problem is line 16. Somehow the end of the line (right after iproute2) is a ^A and not a quote (").

Use vi or something and remote the ^A and replace it with a "

That will solve your issue.
