app-portage/euses, which I use regularly, began spewing a number of format error complaints after a sync yesterday.

could you try to recompile and paste the log, please? The package did not change (2.5.9 is from 2012-08-13), but perhaps your compiler who has warnings now for us? It can also be that file formats changed and euses needs an fix upstream.
Created attachment 635576 [details] Build log Yes, there do seem to be some suspicious warnings in the build log.
Same problem here. I think the problem is that euses reads arches.desc . Compared to other .desc files, the arches.desc file is in a completely different format and contains information which is not related to USE flags at all? Shouldn't euses ignore this file?
