I can't confirm the above problem. Try with FEATURES="-sandbox" and report whether the problem still persists
The problem persists. However, someone mentioned in http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=277600&sid=2fab8a83ec415f87f891c34c636ef708 that a new 'emerge --sync' might help, since he/she can't reproduce the error. I can't do that now (the AMD64 is behind corporate firewall). I will have to bring my laptop back home today to sync the lastest portage tree, so I can only report back tomorrow.
Nope, the problem persist. Nobody else has this problem?
An upgrade of sys-app/ed from 2.0-r5 to 2.0-r6 solves the problem.
Opps, sorry, typo, it should be: "An upgrade of sys-app/ed from 0.2-r5 to 0.2-r6 solves the problem".
