A user is unable to install app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-20100409-r1 IF pbzip2 is installed (using the "symlink" USE flag) portage will use pbzip2 to try and decompress, and fails with: >>> Unpacking gtk+-2.18.6.tbz2 to /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-20100409-r1/work pbzip2: *ERROR unconsumed in after BZ2_bzDecompress loop:ret=4; block=0; seq=55; avail_in=8800 Terminator thread: premature exit requested - quitting... tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge pbzip2 (Use the "symlink" USE flag!) 2. emerge app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-20100409-r1 Actual Results: Uncompress fails, and portage is unable to install the package Workaround is to uninstall pbzip2 BEFORE installing app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-20100409-r1.
You are right, version 20100409-r1 doesn't work with pbzip2 but 20100611 does work. Anyway, this is the same problem as another bug -- trailing garbage, and so is a duplicate. Thanks for reporting. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 320313 ***
