portage 2.0.50_preX has extra debugging on because ... well it's a dev version |
I have the following line in my crontab: 0 */8 * * * /root/bin/update_portage and the content of /root/bin/update_portage is: #!/bin/sh nice -n 19 emerge rsync > /dev/null 2>&1 if [ $(nice -n 19 emerge -puUD world |wc -l) -ne 5 ] then nice -n 19 emerge -puUD world |/bin/mail -s "New system updates available" ehmsen fi This worked great until I update to the portage 2.0.50-preXX series. Now the mails I receives, contains output like the following: eutils flag-o-matic eutils flag-o-matic eutils flag-o-matic eutils flag-o-matic (repeated about 100 times) These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ^H^H ...done! [ebuild U ] media-sound/alsa-tools-1.0.1 [1.0.0_rc2] But when I do an 'nice -n 19 emerge -puUD world' from a normal shell, it all works like a charm.
