As you can see, PVR=2.0_beta3 does not exist, and I don't know where sharutils takes this :? No problems using sharutils-4.2.1-r11. Marking this bug as blocker as it prevents me to install the application. Change it if you consider it appropriate. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: bkorb@gnu.org 2005-08-10 07:32:21 0000 This problem was introduced last fall and not noted until 4.4 was released. The issue should be closed with the release of 4.5. That has been out for several days now.... :) P.S. the "funny name" comes from an environment variable: PVR=2.0_beta3. 4.5 now includes an unshar sanity test. telefrancisco@gmail.com 2005-08-10 09:04:29 0000 Oh, I see. So, I simply need to wait until sharutils 4.5 comes to portage. Thanks :) dragonheart@gentoo.org 2005-08-10 15:03:53 0000 Version bumped on sharutils thanks Bruce and Francisco telefrancisco@gmail.com 2005-08-11 16:10:51 0000 Mmmmm... correct me if I'm wrong, but I think sharutils are not needed to unpack "plain" (i.e. not in mail) .shar programs. Doing a sh file.rar, should do the trick. In this case, is there any way to unpack the .shar file of macutils withouth using unshar in the ebuild? Reopen this bug if you consider it appropriate. dragonheart@gentoo.org 2005-08-12 01:56:27 0000 quite right - fixed now.
