You should have seen a message from emerge --sync telling you that a

I find no informational messages containing "portage", "emerge", or
"-1au" in any of the 3 sync runs I captured into one log file. I did
double check news beforehand, but didn't find anything there.
I don't see them when syncing from a cron script, when all output is
captured and emailed, but do when running sync on a shell. It seems you
only see this when running sync interactively.
Okay. A good example of why silently ("automatically") mucking with the
stdout device is a bad idea. I wish gentoo wouldn't do that. When I
want colorization, I write a vim file.
