I am having problems getting gentoo-sources to build the gentoo-patched kernel. It retrieves the linux-gentoo-2.4.19-r7 patch (successfully, it seems), then tries to do it again, then one more time, and it gives me 'The file is already retrieved; nothing to do' which would be ok, except that it then gives me 'Couldn't download linux-gentoo-2.4.19-gentoo-r7.patch.bz2' and exits out. The file exists in distfiles/ and is the correct size. I'm new to gentoo and just trying it out so I don't want to go too far into the problem (at this point). Just wanted to let you know that there's something funky going on when I tried to use the install instructions. Everything was fine up until this point (I started from scratch with a stage 1 install). I was able to emerge vanilla-sources just fine as well. Apologies in advance if I am doing something stupid here (although I'm pretty sure I did this by the book except for w/my pcmcia wireless card)
I too had this same problem today and am equally baffled. I also found it odd that the downloaded patch was corrupt (output below). $ bunzip2 linux-gentoo-2.4.19-gentoo-r7.patch.bz2 bunzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly; perhaps it is corrupted? *Possible* reason follows. bunzip2: No such file or directory Input file = linux-gentoo-2.4.19-gentoo-r7.patch.bz2, output file = linux-gentoo-2.4.19-gentoo-r7.patch It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted. You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files. You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover data from undamaged sections of corrupted files. bunzip2: Deleting output file linux-gentoo-2.4.19-gentoo-r7.patch, if it exists. $
same as #6809 and #6813

I haven't an idea... can't reproduce this
you can't cause linux-gentoo-2.4.19-gentoo-r7.patch.bz2 is now greater than about 600 kbyte !!!! i think you can close this bug
was a mirroring problem... besides there is a new gentoo-sources ebuild to play with now :)
