So I tracked this weird behaviour down to the alias = gentoo setting we |
| 2 |
did in layout.conf. Since mainline doesn't use this, and I don't think |
| 3 |
we need it any more (there's only one true repo(tm)) I've removed that |
| 4 |
from rsync. The warning disappears. Portage would for some reason |
| 5 |
rename gentoo_prefix to gentoo internally, and then load the thing again |
| 6 |
as gentoo_prefix, basically ending up with two identical repos, of which |
| 7 |
one with the "wrong" name gentoo. You only saw this on occasions where |
| 8 |
e.g. portageq was called from portage because it would pick up the |
| 9 |
REPOSITORIES_CONFIGURATION setting, which contained the faulty repo, |
| 10 |
that the original Portage instance didn't see (even though it created |
| 11 |
that env-setting). |

I hope my fix solves this, and doesn't introduce new problems. |
