[Comment 1 Markus Kaindl 2019-12-26 13:51:08 UTC]

This also happens for sys-kernel/vanilla-kernel (without -bin).

Only happens, if /usr/src/linux still points to another linux-source with a version-string not existing for vanilla-kernel(-bin), e.g. gentoo-sources.

    sys-kernel/vanilla-kernel-bin: Verify version passed to has_version
    
    Verify the version read from /usr/src/linux symlink and make sure
    that it consists of plain [0-9.] before passing it to has_version.
    If it doesn't conform, it isn't our symlink anyway.
