Description A Blamey 2005-02-23 08:22:13 UTC
When I run 'revdep-rebuild -- -a' I expect to be presented with a list of
packages that will be re-emerged and prompted to chose Yes or No.  Instead, the
prompt appears to be interrupted.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run revdep-rebuild -- -a

Actual Results:  
Checking reverse dependencies...
Packages containing binaries and libraries broken by any package update,
will be recompiled.

Collecting system binaries and libraries... using existing
/root/.revdep-rebuild.1_files.

Collecting complete LD_LIBRARY_PATH... using existing
/root/.revdep-rebuild.2_ldpath.

Checking dynamic linking consistency... using existing
/root/.revdep-rebuild.3_rebuild.

Assigning files to ebuilds... using existing /root/.revdep-rebuild.4_ebuilds.

Evaluating package order... using existing /root/.revdep-rebuild.5_order.

All prepared. Starting rebuild...
emerge --oneshot --nodeps -a =net-www/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.0 
..........

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] net-www/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.0

Total size of downloads: 0 kB

Do you want me to merge these packages? [Yes/No] Interrupted.

Result is not OK, you have following choices:
- if emerge failed during build, fix the problems and re-run revdep-rebuild
    or
- use -X or --package-names as first argument (try to rebuild package, not exact
  ebuild - ignores SLOT!)
    or
- set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~<your platform>" and/or /etc/portage/package.unmask
  (and remove /root/.revdep-rebuild.5_order to be evaluated again)
    or
- modify the above emerge command and run it manually
    or
- compile or unmerge unsatisfied packages manually, remove temporary files and
  try again (you can edit package/ebuild list first)

To remove temporary files, please run:
rm /root/.revdep-rebuild*.?_*


-------------

At the point where the prompt is presented the emerge command seems to recieve
an interrupt, and does not allow me to input an answer.


Expected Results:  
Allowed me to answer the prompt in the same way that emerge -av does.
