Seems it is running time on emerge --sync and not redirecting it's output. For a "quiet" run, running time is probably bogus anyway.

Comment 1 Rick Morra 2008-09-23 13:30:38 UTC

A related problem:  In eix-0.12.4, `eix-sync` runs `emerge --sync` quietly before displaying the diffs; eix-0.13.3-r1 displays the `emerge --sync` output.  I definitely prefer the quiet version.

The POSIX "time -p" command always outputs the time on stderr. =/

Yes, but it is the only variant for which the output format is defined.

Anyway, time was replaced by a manual solution in new eix-versions.

There were several reason why the quiet output is not supported anymore,
most importantly the --ask option. You can use hooks to redirect manually.
