[gentoo-user] No longer getting elog messages

Hi, all:

I used to get info, error and warn messages in /var/log/portage/elog after  
emerging packages or doing  emerge -uNDvp world.  Beginning about 2 weeks 
ago, I noticed I am no longer getting those elog entries.  Additionally, I 
noticed that I am getting duplicate entries for each package  that is emerged 
in /var/log/portage (of course, these are the compile logs).

I have Gentoo installed on 2 computers, both using arch ~amd64. All 3 
installations have KDE 4 (latest in portage for ~amd64 arch).

PC #1  uses this profile:  default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/kde
PC #2 has two installs:

	Install #1 uses profile: default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop
	Install #2 uses profile: default/linux/amd64/10.0/no-multilib 

This problem is happening on all 3 of my Gentoo installations and all started 
at the same time.  The only changes have been through doing updates. I sync 
nearly every day followed my # emerge -uNDvp world. Other than issues with 
xorg-server 1.8.0 and the nvidia-drivers, all my updates have been successful. 

Note: I have masked xorg-server 1.8.0 in /etc/portage/package.mask until the 
nvidia-drivers catch up.

I have searched the forums, checked bugzilla and googled on this topic and 
have yet to find a solution.  My Gentoo installs are working just fine except 
for this issue.

I have attached /etc/make.conf from only one of the installs as they are all 
the same. Here are the 3 lines I have in my make.conf files as they relate to 
logging the elog messages:

PORT_LOGDIR="/var/log/portage"
PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="log warn error"
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save"

Thank you for the help.
