if I try to update rsync and set the command emerge -p rsync I get this emerge: the "sync" action does not support "--pretend." Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. I don't know how to handle that bug. because of backward compability I think this is still in it (now it is sync to sync the portage tree). But how should I (or anyone) update rsync easily? Well of course I could tell him the ebuild file directly, but this is a bit stupid?

As a workaround simply say emerge -p net-misc/rsync
