Hi |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
It is a small bug in portage (been there some time now), |
| 22 |
but since portage2 is in the works, Daniel decided not to |
| 23 |
hack broken code with even uglier hacks. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
The openssh thing we fixed with removing the old ebuilds |
| 26 |
(emerge --clean rsync sould update it). |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Otherwise you could try this *cough* unsupported *cough* |
| 29 |
patch which I made some time ago. Please note that portage2 |
| 30 |
will fix this, and with cool regexp will be much faster and |
| 31 |
saner. |
