Bugzilla Bug 238346

The same error occurs in both x86 and amd64:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
emerge app-admin/cronolog

Created an attachment (id=166046) [details]
cronolog-large-file-patch.txt-2310.out

attaching cronolog-large-file-patch.txt-2310.out

confirmed, on 2 different machines

confirmed on 4 different machines (x86 & amd64)

The prior cronolog-1.6.2-r2 is now also affected by this same error.  Something
external to cronolog must have changed recently and brought out this bug.

Strange, by hand the patching succeeds!

# cd /compile/portage/app-admin/cronolog-1.6.2-r3/work/cronolog-1.6.2/src
# patch -p1 -g0 -E --no-backup-if-mismatch <
/usr/portage/app-admin/cronolog/files/1.6.2-patches/cronolog-large-file-patch.txt
patching file cronolog.c
Hunk #2 succeeded at 397 (offset 1 line).

I found a solution:

cd /usr/portage/app-admin/cronolog/files/1.6.2-patches
vi cronolog-large-file-patch.txt cronolog-missing-symlink-patch.txt

replace /tmp for tmp in the first line of both files.
After that:

cd /usr/portage/app-admin/cronolog
ebuild cronolog-1.6.2-r3.ebuild digest
emerge -1 cronolog

That work-around works for me. (AMD64)

It works for me too.  (x86 & amd64)
