Description Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2020-01-12 11:16:27 UTC
portability.eclass uses lexicographical string compare:

eclass/portability.eclass:		[[ $max < $min && $step > 0 ]] && break
eclass/portability.eclass:		[[ $min < $max && $step < 0 ]] && break

The intention is likely to use '-lt'. See bug #705240 for hints to fix it.
