It wasn't me who experienced that, but a user:
13:50 < diabel-> <<< dir /usr/share/doc/wxGTK-2.8.9.1-r3
13:50 < diabel-> /var/tmp/binpkgs/x11-libs/wxGTK-2.8.9.1-r3/temp/environment:
line 2989: błąd składni przy nieoczekiwanym znaczniku `;;'
13:50 < diabel-> /var/tmp/binpkgs/x11-libs/wxGTK-2.8.9.1-r3/temp/environment:
line 2989: ` ;;' * * ERROR: x11-libs/wxGTK-2.8.9.1-r3 failed.
All it states is syntax error near double semicolons.
