Description cybercar 2004-09-09 15:58:06 UTC

After I had installed mailx-8.1.2.20021129-r2, when I try to emerge something it gives me that in the line 43 of /var/db/pkg/mail-client/mailx-8.1.2.20021129-r2/mailx-8.1.2.20021129-r2.ebuild theres something wrong.

After looking up in that file i found that the error is in line 19, exatly in the end of it, where has to be a '"'
I typed it and after removing mailx ( i couldn't do it before fixing that ) emerge goes well

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.install mailx-8.1.2.20021129-r2
2.try to emerge something
3.

Actual Results:  
emerge crashes

Expected Results:  
Fix the 19 line

this seems to be happening for a few packages -- what gives?

I have no idea what this bug is reporting as there is no
first-hand information posted.

Actually, it's a dupe of bug# 46096
