When I run emerge -a sync I get this error: Do you want to sync your Portage tree with the mirror at rsync://65.19.163.230/gentoo-portage? [Yes/No] Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2435, in ? if userquery("Do you want to sync your Portage tree with the mirror at\n" + blue(dosyncuri) + bold("?"))=="No": File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 110, in userquery response=raw_input("["+string.join([colours[i](responses[i]) for i in range(len(responses))],"/")+"] ") IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor "emerge sync" works fine, but error with "emerge -a sync" is still there. I guess someone forgot "emerge -a sync" is possible. I you wonder why I would use -a on sync, it is because I use the aliases alias ge='emerge -av' alias se='emerge -s' for all my portage interaction.
