Bug 52696 – portage-2.0.51_pre9: emerge fails to open and write to emerge.log

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Paul Varner (RETIRED) 2004-06-01 09:47:08 UTC]

After upgrading to portage-2.0.51_pre9 so I could test and play with it, I discovered that it is no longer writing to /var/log/emerge.log  Running emerge with the --debug option, I noticed that there is a typo in the emergelog function where it checks for the existance of the log file.  I will be attaching a patch.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =sys-apps/portage-2.0.51_pre9
2. emerge <anything>
3.

Actual Results:  
The reults of the emerge are not logged to /var/log/emerge.log

Expected Results:  
The results should be written to /var/log/emerge.log
