Update failed parsing repository on package media-fonts/powerline-symbols

[scottfurry]

Doing an emerge update and it appears something has changed in Gentoo that causes a parsing of repository to fail. Platform: x86_64(AMD) Kernel 5.4.97 portage 3.0.17-r2

Error Messaging during update:

Yikes! Thanks for the detailed heads up; we'll get this squared straight away.

Thanks again, Canadian canine superhero Scott Furry! Gentoo recently bumped the font eclass to requiring EAPI >= 6. All should now be well for dogfighting dogs everywhere. :dog2:
