Does your /root/gentoo/usr/bin/portageq have an absolute shebang? Mine does. > Is there any reason to use "env -i" ?? it cleans the environment, probably for that case to avoid garbage (set by the user) to influence portageq's output. Must have been a reason for it at some point. Feels wrong they aren't aligned in binutils-config and gcc-config, though. -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo on a different level -- [email protected] mailing list
