Description Rob Kruus 2003-05-17 12:50:59 UTC

I have run an update of xfce-cvs as a cron job and I am getting the following error (repeated for each module in the ebuild) (portage-2.0.48_pre6):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 276, in ?
    emergelog("Started emerge on: "+time.strftime("%b %d, %Y %H:%M:%S", time.localtime()))

My guess is because as it is running a cron job, there is no open terminal, so it pukes when trying to set the terminal title....

Oops, just found  #18780, and kind of had the same thoughts (though I only run this once a week).
