When performing emerge --deep world today, the first package that it tried to emerge was dev-lang/python-2.3.5-r2. This failed partway through the verification of md5sums, immediately after verifying: >>> md5 files ;-) files/python-2.3-pcre.patch I also emerged the package directly, with the same results. Note that I have not performed this on any other systems than my office system. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start with a gentoo install with profile 2005.1 2. verify there are no overrides in /etc/portage/package.keywords 3. emerge dev-lang/python Actual Results: The traceback: >>> md5 files ;-) files/python-2.3-pcre.patch Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 3200, in ? mydepgraph.merge(mydepgraph.altlist()) File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1912, in merge retval=portage.doebuild(y,"merge",myroot,self.pkgsettings,edebug) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 2682, in doebuild if not digestcheck(checkme, mysettings, ("strict" in features)): File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 2297, in digestcheck return digestCheckFiles(myfiles, mydigests, basedir, note="src_uri", strict=strict) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 2206, in digestCheckFiles ok,reason = portage_checksum.verify_all(myfile,mydigests[x]) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_checksum.py", line 61, in verify_all if mydict[x] != perform_md5(filename, calc_prelink=calc_prelink): File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_checksum.py", line 25, in perform_md5 return perform_checksum(x, md5hash, calc_prelink)[0] File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_checksum.py", line 128, in perform_checksum myhash, mysize = hash_function(myfilename) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_checksum.py", line 75, in md5hash return fchksum.fmd5t(filename) IOError: [Errno 5] Input/output error: '/usr/portage/distfiles/Python-2.3.5.tar.bz2' Expected Results: Finish processing and compiling the ebuild successfully. ---------- emerge info ---------- Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.3.6, glibc-2.3.5-r1, 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 ccache version 2.3 [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/ http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/ http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ http://mirror.clarkson.edu/pub/distributions/gentoo/ ftp://gentoo.cites.uiuc.edu/pub/gentoo/" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X acpi aim alsa apm arts audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bmp bzip2 calendar cdparanoia cdr crypt cups curl curlwrappers directfb divx4linux doc dv eds emboss encode esd exif fam fbcon ffmpeg flac foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm ggi gif glut gnome gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml icc icq imagemagick imap imlib ipv6 jabber java javascript joystick jpeg junit kde kdeenablefinal kdexdeltas kerberos krb4 lcms ldap libcaca libg++ libwww lm_sensors mad matroska mcal mikmod mmap mmx mng motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mpi msn mysql mysqli ncurses nis nls odbc offensive ogg oggvorbis openal opengl osc oscar oss pam pcre pda pdflib perl php png python qt quicktime readline samba sasl sdl session sharedmem slang slp sndfile speex spell sse ssl svg symlink tcpd theora threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb v4l vcd videos vorbis win32codecs wmf xine xinerama xml2 xmms xosd xpm xv xvid yahoo zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
Created attachment 68066 [details] Complete failed emerge output for dev-lang/python-2.3.5-r2
Input/output error: '/usr/portage/distfiles/Python-2.3.5.tar.bz2' Looks like filesystem corruption or your disk is dying. Check dmesg to confirm nothing suspicious there. If not, try unpacking it with tar.
Confirmed. It does appear to be a disk and/or filesystem corruption problem.
