Created attachment 92347 [details, diff] fix sytax error Sorry about that. The fix is in svn r3972 and has just been released in 2.1.1_pre3-r3 (will take a while for the rsync mirrors to get it though). If you save the patch as /tmp/etc-update.patch then you can apply it as follows: cd /usr/lib/portage patch -p0 < /tmp/etc-update.patch
This has been fixed for some time.
