./MKhashsize.sh: line 42: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Reproducible: Always

1. emerge -v ncurses

Comment 1 nikos roussos 2008-02-09 16:50:13 UTC

the solution i have found to override the bug is to enclose in quotes the line that causes the problem at /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/ncurses-5.6-r2/work/ncurses-5.6/MKhashsize.sh:

TABSIZE="`grep -v '^[ #]' $CAPS | grep -v "^$" | grep -v "^capalias"| grep -v "^infoalias" | wc -l`"

instead of:

TABSIZE=`grep -v '^[ #]' $CAPS | grep -v "^$" | grep -v "^capalias"| grep -v "^infoalias" | wc -l`


but i guess this should be fixed a better way

Compiles just fine here; reopen with full emerge.log and emerge --info output.

Uh, what kind of whacky shell is your /bin/sh pointing to?

#ls -l /in/sh
