I'm following the documentation here:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Portage/Advanced#Using_.2Fetc.2Fportage.2Fenv

to hook into the postinst phase of an ebuild. The docs only provide an actual example for the global hook case (/etc/portage/bashrc), but it says it works the same way on a per-ebuild basis using /etc/portage/env. But it is totally silent on how to actually do that :-/

So I assume, since the docs don't mention anything special, that I should put the code in a conf file. So I created this file:

  /etc/portage/env/test.conf

and in it:

  if [ "${EBUILD_PHASE}" == "postinst" ];
  then
      echo ":: TEST"
  fi

Then I added this line to /etc/portage/package.env:

  app-misc/mc test.conf

But when I "emerge app-misc/mc", I get:

!!! Problem in 'app-misc/mc' dependencies.
!!! "/etc/portage/env/test.conf", line 1: Invalid token '[' (not '=') portage.exception
... done!
"/etc/portage/env/test.conf", line 1: Invalid token '[' (not '=')

I don't get it... Can't I have a per-package bashrc or something? The docs are suggesting that I can, but don't tell me how.
