• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description jszwast 2006-03-17 04:27:00 UTC]

No portage error is produced, and it finishes as if it installed successfully, but there was a tar error:

Created attachment 82459 [details]
changed tar line

Please try the attached ebuild (Save into your app-accessibility/perlbox-voice directory, type ebuild perlbox-voice-0.09.ebuild digest, then emerge perlbox-voice). I'm listed as last editor, but that line looks wrong to me (and I tested and installed this locally, so I know it was working pre-commit).

[Comment 2 jszwast 2006-03-19 11:24:14 UTC]

I had to change the tar line more.
Change the '.as' to '.ss' and delete the second xvf at the end, then it installed.
Thank you.

[Comment 3 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) 2006-03-26 05:14:14 UTC]

I'm really unsure wth happened to this ebuild - but it should all be good. -r1 is in the tree (or will be by the time the email this post generates hits all the relays).
