Created attachment 92441 [details, diff] collapse whitespace in remote package metadata I've added this patch to collapse metadata whitespace in svn r3984. The behavior that I've observed isn't identical to yours but maybe the root problem is the same. If you save this patch as /tmp/remotepkgs.patch then you can apply it as follows: cd /usr/lib/portage patch -p0 < /tmp/remotepkgs.patch If that doesn't help then please attach --debug output.
This has been released in 2.1.1_pre3-r4.
