Greetings, since the output of "emerge -a" might be long, and since on a stock con- sole you cannot scroll, I had the idea of piping it into "tee", and in case I'm unsure just to say "No" to the question of whether or not I would like to merge these packages and then to inspect the "emerge" out- put more closely using an editor.
Sadly, however, this works only partly: $ sudo emerge -1a acct-group/abrt | tee Password: These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies ... done! [ebuild N ] acct-group/abrt-0-r1 And that's it, however long you're going to wait here. You can then blindly say "No", and "tee" will continue its output: Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] Quitting. $ Replacing "tee" with "more" does not change anything, so most likely the culprit is "emerge" itself, which seems to instantly block standard out- put after it has sent its question there. So, is this a bug or a feature? Sincerely, Rainer
