1 I recently noticed that "emerge --search" stopped working correctly.
2 It now returns all sorts of packages that don't match the search
3 sting:
4
5 $ emerge --search wxpython | grep '^[^\t ]'
6
7 [ Results for search key : wxpython ]
8 Searching...
9 * dev-lang/python
10 * dev-python/bpython
11 * dev-python/ipython
12 * dev-python/pythong [ Masked ]
13 * dev-python/twython
14 * dev-python/vpython [ Masked ]
15 * dev-python/wxpython
16 [ Applications found : 7 ]
17
18 Why is it returning packges that don't match what I'm searching for?
19
20 Shouldn't only the last of the ones shown above be returned?
