After emerging some packages that have configs for update the summary information about that is displayed. The number of configs seems to be increased by 1, as etc-update says to update less files. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge some package that updates config 2. see tail of output, the IMPORTANT section, where number of configs is displayed 3. run etc-update and count configs for updating Actual Results: My log of two runs: * Regenerating GNU info directory index... * Processed 167 info files. * IMPORTANT: 3 config files in '/etc' need updating. * See the CONFIGURATION FILES section of the emerge * man page to learn how to update config files. racer ~ # etc-update Scanning Configuration files... The following is the list of files which need updating, each configuration file is followed by a list of possible replacement files. 1) /etc/php/apache2-php5/php.ini (1) 2) /etc/php/cli-php5/php.ini (1) Please select a file to edit by entering the corresponding number. (don't use -3, -5, -7 or -9 if you're unsure what to do) (-1 to exit) (-3 to auto merge all remaining files) (-5 to auto-merge AND not use 'mv -i') (-7 to discard all updates) (-9 to discard all updates AND not use 'rm -i'): -5 * GNU info directory index is up-to-date. * IMPORTANT: 8 config files in '/etc' need updating. * See the CONFIGURATION FILES section of the emerge * man page to learn how to update config files. racer ~ # etc-update Scanning Configuration files... Automerging trivial changes in: /etc/scsi_id.config The following is the list of files which need updating, each configuration file is followed by a list of possible replacement files. 1) /etc/udev/rules.d/05-udev-early.rules (1) 2) /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules (1) 3) /etc/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-input.rules (1) 4) /etc/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules (1) 5) /etc/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules (1) 6) /etc/udev/udev.conf (1) Please select a file to edit by entering the corresponding number. (don't use -3, -5, -7 or -9 if you're unsure what to do) (-1 to exit) (-3 to auto merge all remaining files) (-5 to auto-merge AND not use 'mv -i') (-7 to discard all updates) (-9 to discard all updates AND not use 'rm -i'): -5 Expected Results: expected that at the first run should be 2 configs, at the second - 7 configs emerge --info Portage 2.1.2.11 (default-linux/x86/2007.0, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.5-r4, 2.6.21.6-mc1 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.21.6-mc1 i686 Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2300 @ 1.66GHz Gentoo Base System release 1.12.9 Timestamp of tree: Thu, 16 Aug 2007 11:00:01 +0000 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.16 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.23b virtual/os-headers: 2.6.21 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org" LANG="ru_RU.KOI8-R" LINGUAS="ru" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acl alsa arts berkdb bitmap-fonts cli cracklib crypt cups dri fortran gdbm gif gpm gtk2 iconv ipv6 isdnlog jpeg kde midi mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly opengl openmp pam pcre perl png ppds pppd python qt3 readline reflection samba session spl ssl tcpd tiff truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode vhosts x86 xorg zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="ru" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
