We made that assumption for portage-utils as they can be used on a |
| 28 |
device which has no $PORTDIR at all. So when there is no categories file |
| 29 |
that exists we fell back to the rules that have been working well for |
| 30 |
the past %d years. |

We changed that behavior however a while ago. I thought this was in the |
| 33 |
tree. But I guess not if you are hitting it. |
