I also started encountering this error a week or two ago, but until now haven't had time to investigate or see if someone submitted a bug.. The following commands fixed the problem for me: # emerge -C =mailx-8.1.2.20021129-r3 # emerge =mailx-8.1.2.20021129-r2 # emerge mailx In english: - unmerge the latest version of mailx (r3) - reemerge r2 - upgrade to r3 (r2 should unmerge correctly this time) FWIW, I have pinpointed the place where ebuild.sh croaks: it's both in the mailx and the logwatch ebuilds (at least those were the ones that failed on me). The error is at the end of the dependency list (DEPEND="..."). It ends like this:
mail-client/mailx-support^A
Yes, including that ^A, where a " should be.
Naturally, ebuild.sh does not understand that and bombs. How that ^A got there is completely beyond me, though.
The logwatch ebuild had the exact same problem. Did some script/portage update tweak the mail-client/mailx-support deps throughout the tree?
The CVS tree and the master RSYNC server both give me files that don't contain any ^A in them, so I'm suspecting you've all hit a bad rsync mirror somewhere. If this problem persists please re-open the bug with a specific rsync server that gave you the issue. No further problems with this bug at this moment, so closing it. -Jeffrey I got this problem with the this mirror rsync://156.56.111.198/gentoo-portage The problem was with the mailx ebuild. This is a duplicate of Bug 46096 . Just replace the ^A with a quote (") in the ebuild: /var/db/pkg/mail-client/mailx-8.1.2.20021129-r2/mailx-8.1.2.20021129-r2.ebuild and then it'll unmerge after that. Someone may want to change the resolution from "WORKSFORME" to "DUPLICATE". Confirmed duplicate.
