Bugzilla Bug 979

I did emerge kde and everything went well until it hit aRTs here is the compile
error:
>>> Source unpacked.

The kde3pre ebuilsd are *UNSUPPORTED* by Gentoo. Bugs about them should NOT be
submited via the normal Gentoo channels, e.g. here. I have made this as clear
as I could on the kde3pre site.  As for your report, if you're using arts-0.7.1
then you don't have the latest release of kde3pre ebuilds, which has
arts-0.9.7. Please install the latest release as well as running emerge rsync
to get the latest eclasses from portage proper. email me directly at
danarmak@gentoo.org if any problem recurs. 

This is for kde 2.2.2 not kde 3 beta....

How can that be? The kde-base/arts ebuild (in any version) exists only in kde3
ebuilds and does not exist in portage, only on my site! Have you installed
kde3pre ebuilds at some point? You must have, or you wouldn't have an arts
ebuild at all. In kde2.x arts is part of kdelibs proper.  Am I missing
something??? 

I am getting a very similar problem when trying to emerge arts-1.0.0.ebuild. I
had the KDE3-pre ebuilds installed, I unmerged all of them, including arts, did
an emerge --clean rsync and I get the following when emerging arts now:  >>>
emerge kde-base/arts-1.0.0 to / alsa alsa >>> Unpacking source...

Additionaly, arts-1.0.0.tar.bz2 does not seems to get downloaded at all, and it
obviously isn't 
unpacked either, which is why it fails. Manually downloading arts-1.0.0.tar.bz2
into 
portage/distfiles does not help either. 

I am using portage 1.8.18 

I'm sorry about abandoning this issue. 
If this is still relevant, try deleting yuor kde3pre-generated cache: rm /var/cache/edb/dep/dep-*. It 
should help. 

Fixed several times over I think
