now I issued my weekly-regular emerge --update --deep --newuse --verbose world I just accidentally saw the messages printed by freetype ebuild: pkg_postinst() { echo ewarn "After upgrading to freetype-2.3.5, it is necessary to rebuild" ewarn "libXfont to avoid build errors in some packages." echo elog "The utilities and demos previously bundled with freetype are now" elog "optional. Enable the utils USE flag if you would like them" elog "to be installed." echo } it wasn't repeated at the end of the emerge (actually, there were no messages printed at the end, maybe I missed some of them). Reproducible: Always
What's the output of `grep ELOG /etc/make.conf`?
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save" PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="warn info qa"
When having PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM defined, you have overridden the default. Have a look at /etc/make.conf.example how to configure it.
