[Description iago 2004-03-06 02:17:43 UTC]

this is the error I get during install phase of this ebuild:

--snip--

that's all I can provide.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
the exact command that produces this output is:
[NOTE: before this I tried to `emerge` it twice, so I changed to ebuild.]

ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xfree/xfree-4.3.0-r5.ebuild install

-or also-

emerge xfree

Actual Results:  
ebuild printed a bunch of lines on stdout. i highlighted only the important
ones, i think. they are the last lines of install phase of the ebuild.
see details

Expected Results:  
install xfree-4.3.0-r5
I cannot use skipfirst and I'd like to continue my emerge -U world
