It seems that portage doesn't (yet?) accept this argument. It is pretty imporant for testing purposes, and generic scripting purposes. Tried both exporting and passing inline. Can you look at this please Daniel? Would be immensely helpful :) Mark

Hmm very strange, I am running .23 surfer root # emerge -s portage Searching... [ Results for search key : portage ] [ Applications found : 3 ] * sys-apps/portage Latest version Available: 2.0.23 Latest version Installed: 2.0.23 Homepage: http://www.gentoo.org Description: Portage ports system surfer root # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" emerge -p grub These are the packages that I would merge, in order. Calculating dependencies !!! Couldn't find match for grub; aborting. I will try with the .24 in cvs in the morning and see if it's hapier with me or not (and I also tried rm -rf /var/cache/edb/dep/* with no success)
Just installed .25 on my ppc at work and this seems to be cleared up. I will close this bug, thanks :)
