The emerge of the apps-i18n/kde-i18n-de-3.0.4 package fails. During unpack(), a failure occurs when trying to unpack the patch file (kde- i18n-gentoo.patch): "unpack kde-i18n-gentoo.patch: file format not recognized" This is clear, as the patch file is not packed at all. The unpack() function in "/usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh" is working on a directory base, and not on specified files. As such, it will always fail whenever the source tarball and an (unpacked) patch file reside in the same directory. Hence, the patch file should be distributed packed, such as "kde-i18n- gentoo.patch.bz2" or so. A temporary workaround is to comment out line 37 in "/usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh" for the installation of this single package. After successful merging, uncomment this line again.
It's the same for the nl version. Can somebody please fix...
please remove /var/cache/edb/dep/app-i18n/kde-i18n* and try again.
Works for me now. Thanx a lot.
