I thought maybe I just got a bad mirror so I did a "emerge --sync" several times to make sure I got a good snapshot... -Bryan
looks like /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass is missing a ;; on line 997 Should look like this: bzip2*) tail -n +${skip} ${src} | bzip2 -dc | tar -xf - ;; gzip*) NOT like this: bzip2*) tail -n +${skip} ${src} | bzip2 -dc | tar -xf - gzip*) This bug is not magic's fault....
