Have a look at the ebuild with a text editor |
| 27 |
at /var/db/pkg/net-firewall/shorewall-1.4.7c/shorewall-1.4.7c.ebuild. You'll |
| 28 |
probably find that a quote is missing from a DEPEND string and that there's a |
| 29 |
Ctrl-A character in it's place. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
If that is the case, running /usr/lib/portage/bin/fixvardbentries should fix |
| 32 |
the corruption in that ebuild and probably other ebuilds too. |
