A while after hav- ing traced this problem down, I faintly remembered that in ma early Gen- too days I had a similar problem with "eix". In both cases the depen- dance on environment variable "ARCH" is not documented in the respec- tive manual pages, and therefore it is in particular not pointed out that Portage is using a different convention from the "arch" command for naming hardware architectures. So it's probably not a bug in the code, but rather "just" missing pre- cision in the documentation -- and my personal experience is that such things will hardly ever be corrected, because the REAL bugs in the code just have higher priority :-/ Sincerely, Rainer
