After upgrading to 2.2_rc1 version of portage I noticed that the suspiciously small amount of elog messages is saved during normal system upgrade (emerge -uDN world). Now I absolutely positive that most of them is simply lost. Strange thing about this bug that it doesn't depend on package. After reemerging particular program, I got portage to save elog messages, which it haven't done before, during the upgrade. I tried both "warn error log" and "*" settings for PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES.

Yes, it depends what other packages have been merged before (in the same emerge run). I will attach a patch which fixed it for me (made on trunk, but applies cleanly on 2.2_rc1 too).
Created attachment 160815 [details, diff] fix_elog.patch
(In reply to comment #4) > Created an attachment (id=160815) [edit] > fix_elog.patch Thanks, your patch is in trunk r11138.
This is fixed in 2.2_rc2.
