Following a successful emerge of sys-apps/texinfo-4.11-r1 the unmerge of sys-apps/texinfo-4.8-r5 fails as follows: >>> Unmerging sys-apps/texinfo-4.8-r5... /var/tmp/binpkgs/sys-apps/texinfo-4.8-r5/temp/environment: line 260: syntax error near unexpected token `(' /var/tmp/binpkgs/sys-apps/texinfo-4.8-r5/temp/environment: line 260: ` done <<(get_mounts);' * * ERROR: sys-apps/texinfo-4.8-r5 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 1641: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * preprocess_ebuild_env || \ * die "error processing environment" * The die message: * error processing environment * This is caused by line 308 in this file: /var/db/pkg/sys-apps/texinfo-4.8-r5/environment.bz2 (when expanded). The code snippet is: return; done <<(get_mounts); ((++i)); removing the "<<(get_mounts)" solves the problem (in that it allows the unmerge to complete), but I'm not sure that would be a good fix. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. unmerge =sys-apps/texinfo-4.8-r5... Actual Results: As above.

rm /var/db/pkg/sys-apps/texinfo-4.8-r5/environment.bz2 is the workaround *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 211833 ***
Another workaround for this particular case: # bunzip2 /var/db/pkg/sys-apps/texinfo-4.8-r5/environment.bz2 # sed -i 's/<<(get_mounts/<<< $(get_mounts/' /var/db/pkg/sys-apps/texinfo-4.8-r5/environment # bzip2 /var/db/pkg/sys-apps/texinfo-4.8-r5/environment # emerge --resume
