Hello,

Can anybody hint what on Earth this following message means, I've
never seen anything like it:

  * Messages for package dev-python/sip-4.9.3-r1:

  * ERROR: dev-python/sip-4.9.3-r1 failed:

I can see the most recent change in the eclass touching this part over
at s.g.o, as well as read the code, but it didn't make me any wiser so
far:

http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/eclass/python.eclass?rev=1.82&view=log

But then again, it says it fixes something for the 2.1-series portage
users. Is this now broken for us overly brave portage 2.2_rc users?

Sorry for the noise. A re-sync updated python.eclass, and (hopefully) ended up sorting this out. At least the eclass was changed, and now sip emerges without complaints.
