during the install portion of the ebuild for 'eselect-opengl-1.0.6-r2' the following error is thrown:

------------------------------------------
!!! Error: Unrecognized option: (none)
/var/tmp/portage/app-admin/eselect-opengl-1.0.6-r2/temp/environment: line 616: 17497 Killed       eselect opengl set "${impl}"
------------------------------------------

1. emerge -av1 eselect-opengl
Actual Results:

This "Killed" error occurs when trying to set the opengl profile when no opengl profiles have been installed.

# eselect opengl list
Available OpenGL implementations:
  (none found)              


# eselect opengl set 1
!!! Error: Unrecognized option: 1
Killed

It appears to fail gracefully to me. Why would you want to have app-admin/eselect-opengl when you do not actually have anything installed that provides an opengl profile?
Comment 2 Dyweni 2008-10-15 19:22:13 UTC
I noticed the error on a brand new machine when emerging xorg-x11 for the first time.   

I have ~x86 accepted in /etc/make.conf (ACCEPT_KEYWORDS)
