Description Randall 2022-09-20 20:00:43 UTC

I was trying to install uget today, but I seem to be getting this confusing error since my curl is at 7.85.0-r2, which causes the entire build to fail.

Upon inspection of the error, it seems not to be finding the `let` command in the configure script.

Reproducible: Always

Please include emerge --info and re upload the build.log as it seems to have HTML entity characters in it

CCing Arsen in case related to our recent changes but unlikely. Not able to check right this second

Ah, I think it's a bashism.

Does it work if you change /bin/sh to bash temporarily?

> Does it work if you change /bin/sh to bash temporarily?

How would I go about doing that?

So ajak helped me figure it out in IRC.

Turns out, it was a bashism. Once I switched back to bash from dash, it did emerge correctly.

Comment 10 Randall 2022-09-20 20:41:14 UTC

I'll leave this open if there's a need to correct the bashism; otherwise, this can be closed.

It's a legitimate bug and it's a good find :)
