No, it is proper ls output (with different colours ’n all). In response to Dale’s answer: some of them are symlinks, some are not. In the case of eselect I checked genlop and it was installed after bash-completion, so it should have been migrated already. Anyways... I will do as the quoted news item tells me to when I’m home again. Cheers -- A Tudor who tooted a flute tried to tutor two tooters to toot.
