in this 1.14, i see a problem : http://dev.gentoo.org/~spyderous/${PN}/patchsets/${PV}/${P}-files-${PATCH_VER}.tar.bz2 http://dev.gentoo.org/~cyfred/distfiles/${P}-files-${FILES_VER}.tar.bz2" files-${PATCH_VER} should be files-${FILES_VER} or else it would use the 0.1 files (that's why i suppose the digest for 0.2 was missing too)
Fixed the problem in comment #1.
Which version of groff do you have installed?

groff 1.19.1, compiled on sep 13 14:20 with "X -debug"

Try downgrading to 1.19 with `emerge =sys-apps/groff-1.19`
Same problem but my error showed up on xorg-x11-6.8.0. Whats really bad in my opion is tha that portage thinks its installed and I'm in 6.7.0-r2 right after trying to downgrade to fix it. It failed as reported so I tried ebuild .... compile. THe first thing it did was unmerge x6.8.0 and Im useing the broken 6.7.0-r2. THe reason I twigged to this is that nedit wont build because the image libs arent to be found in /usr/include/X11. I tried rebuilding groff-1.19.1then did tried ebuild and no fix. Trying groff-1.19. BUT WHY IS PORTAGE EMERGE INSTALLING FAILED EMERGES ????? If you need them I can post the emerge logs and portage logs.
Succes downgraded to groff-1.19 and xorg-6.7.0-r2 emerged correctly. Also not to scare people Im useing portage-2.0.51 Portage 2.0.51_pre20 (default-linux/x86/2004.2/gcc34/2.6, gcc-3.4.2, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r0, 2.6.8-gentoo-r2 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+) The I filed bug 64214 about it.
*** Bug 64377 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The downgrade worked and xorg 6.8.0 successfully installed. I have masked >sys-apps/groff-1.19 until resolved.

Any chance the maintainers could mask groff-1.19.1 until this problem is resolved?
I also experience this problem with xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1. xorg-x11-6.8.0 compiled fine here.
Tobias, the issue is unrelated to 6.8.0 vs 6.8.0-r1. It's all about which version of groff you had at the time you emerged xorg-x11.
Can those affected please post the output of "emerge info"? If you don't then there's absolutely no chance we're going to be able to work out what the problem is, and that's going to block gcc-4 when it's released. As such I'm keen to get this one sorted.
As I've stated in my previous bug report, I only saw the error when installing xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1, xorg-x11-6.8.0 generated the documentation without a hinch (and I installed that just two days ago, so I still know). I can only agree that this is a problem with xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1 (at least for me), or maybe it's some random event...

From comment #20: the point is that I _want_ "+doc"!
I tried to remove doc, still no go, then downgraded groff to 1.19 and it compiled with no problems. So it does still appear to be a groff problem?

When it worked for me using -doc, it was with groff-1.19.1. I had tried yesterday downgrading groff and still ran into compile errors. Re-emerged groff-1.19.1 and did the emerge of xorg with -doc and it compiled and installed fine.
*sigh* I really don't like the look of this one. It looks like a compiler bug to me. For those of you affected, if any of you could do the following: FEATURES="maketest" ebuild /usr/portage/sys-apps/groff/groff-1.19.1.ebuild test (I think that works) then I'd be most grateful. Also, perhaps more importantly, could you please all tell me what version of sys-apps/texinfo you've got installed?

Ooops! Sorry. groff doesn't have a testsuite. My bad. I apologise. The output (just a hunch) of: which psselect would be far more interesting. I get the feeling that, seeing as that's mentioned near the start of the build as being missing, it's quite possible that we need a dep on psutils... :-S
i have no psselect, not even the psutils package installed

Oh well, another theory down the pan. I'll keep thinking...
Google is really the solution to all the problems ... http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2004/08/02/0010.html For groff-1.19.1: cvs rdiff -r1.3 -r1.4 src/gnu/dist/groff/tmac/s.tmac
Cue Muttley-style muttering. I can't believe I missed that even though I searched for it. Thanks very much! I'll fix this later today.
Created an attachment (id=39907) [edit] Patch from groff cvs Should be this patch. Please test it before committing.
Created an attachment (id=39908) [edit] Updated ebuild This is the updated ebuild to use with the patch above. Now I'll get on compiling X.org and I'll tell you if this fixes the issue. Stay tuned. ;)
mission accomplished.
1.19.1-r1 is now in portage with this patch, thanks guys :)
*** Bug 64735 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The solution was not exactly clear from this bug report. I tried to emerge again today but although emerge sync listed the new groff ebuild it tried to compile xorg-x11 first and crashed again. So the correct order is: 1. emerge sync 2. emerge groff 3. emerge -u world (or equivalent)
Not quite. Step two should be "emerge -u groff", otherwise you'll get groff recorded in your world file, which is only supposed to list those packages you've explicitly merged in order to use, not the dependencies of those packages.
Thanks for this info, which I didn't know yet. There's still a lot to be learned about Portage!
You mean --oneshot or was that --one-shot ? -u means upgrade.. but afik it adds it to the world file Not quite. Step two should be "emerge -u groff", otherwise you'll get groff recorded in your world file, which is only supposed to list those packages you've explicitly merged in order to use, not the dependencies of those packages.
No, "-u" does not add things to the world file. --oneshot only needs to be used when the package which needs merging has not yet been merged at all (any version); in this case, and only this case (when no previous version has been installed) will "-u" add the package to the world file. If you don't have groff installed, you can't try to merge xorg-x11 in the proper fashion anyway, so I assumed that this wouldn't be the case.
