sys-apps/net-tools-1.60_p20071202044231-r1 is a gentoo rolled tarball on gentoo mirrors, which for no good reason uses .tar.lzma. The ebuild misses a lzma-utils build time dependency and fails to build therefore. That said, the time is no ripe to use lzma tarballs, as the tool is still in the progress of being rewritten to not use C++ (which has very good reasons to avoid for gentoo based specialized small systems). See bugs 220074 and 207200 and more. Also gentoo-dev mailing list here: http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_db1f0266707ce070d0362272c308d26f.xml >>> Unpacking net-tools-1.60_p20071202044231.tar.lzma to /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/net-tools-1.60_p20071202044231-r1/work /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh: line 380: lzma: command not found This does not look like a tar archive Error exit delayed from previous errors * * ERROR: sys-apps/net-tools-1.60_p20071202044231-r1 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_unpack * environment, line 2377: Called unpack 'net-tools-1.60_p20071202044231.tar.lzma' * ebuild.sh, line 381: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * assert "$myfail" * The die message: * failure unpacking net-tools-1.60_p20071202044231.tar.lzma * * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. * A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/net-tools-1.60_p20071202044231-r1/temp/build.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/net-tools-1.60_p20071202044231-r1/temp/environment'. *
So what I mean is, please convert the tarball into bz2 and use that. Might go together with a snapshot bump if that's useful.
