Bug 80647 – Syntax error in the ebuild.sh script at or near line 39

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Maurice Volaski 2005-02-03 16:07:09 UTC]

Here the beginning of the output from doing esync -v (which in turn performs emerge -sync) 

/usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh: /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass: line 39: syntax error near unexpected token `else'
/usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh: /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass: line 39: `   else'

!!! ERROR: dev-lisp/cl-plus-1.0 failed.
!!! Function inherit, Line 1443, Exitcode 1
!!! died sourcing /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass in inherit()
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

This is occurring with portage-2.0.51-r15

Also got the errors while updating portage cache, then later:

Do you want me to merge these packages? [Yes/No]

Created attachment 50292 [details, diff]
fixes syntax error, no logic changes (allows emerge to continue)

[Comment 9 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2005-04-11 04:45:49 UTC]

Already fixed.
