Running sudo "echo 'media-video/xine-ui ~x86' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords" causes sudo to search the PATH for a *single* executable file named "sudo echo 'media-video/xine-ui ~x86' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords". It will find no such file, and report "command not found". Besides, the echo command doesn't support the *shell* redirection operators. It is the *shell* that interprets those. Echo just prints every argument it receives to stdout, so even if you managed to pass ">>" to echo in it's argv, it would just print those characters to its stdout. > This cause the command > echo 'media-video/xine-ui ~x86' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords > to be passed to the sudo shell which causes the bash built-in: sudo has no builtin bash or bash-like shell. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
