If you try emerge -e -f -p world or emerge -f -p -e <list of packages> and inspect carefully the output it seems that emerge displays not only the URLs but strings like : opengl motif java .The worst thing is that these strings overlap from time to time the URLs and broke them. May be these are some kind of USE dependency but they should not display and should not brake URLs. Example display: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/gnome-vfs- 1.0.5.tar.gz http://www.ibisdl xmms pam blio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/control-center-1.4.0.5.tar.bz2 http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/gnome-core- 1.4.2.tar.bz2
try emerge -pf
No change. emerge -pf gives the same messy results. Besides there shouldn't be any difference calling emerge -f -p and emerge -fp
when you say 'break' do you mean it breaks the output or when it actually tries to d/l the file, it cant ?
Created attachment 8155 [details] demostration of the wrong output I'm attaching the output of the following command: emerge -pf apache mrproject ghostview kde-i18n-bg icewm gsmlib obexftp vsftpd samba hsflinmodem prelink wget portage sysklogd vcron vanilla-sources vim nmap xfree gnome kde koffice openoffice mozilla wvdial prozilla howto-html howto-text mini-howto-html mini-howto-text xmms isapnptools pciutils lsof xpdf gnupg xscreensaver > alist See lines: 77 - where libvorbis-1.0.tar.gz is broken by pam and becomes libvorbis-pam .. 1.0.tar.gz (lines 77-86 are in the middle of URL) 94 - whre ftp becomes ftesd ... 130 -
Works just fine here... You wouldn't happen to be running an -march=pentium4 system would you? post 'emerge info' please.
I don't think this has something to do with the machine architecure. Actually it seems as problem of the ebuild scripts. Try this: emerge -pf kdebase Now you should see these in the middle of the URLs: pam motif encode ... Looking in the kdebase-3.1-r1.ebuild I can see: use ldap use pam use motif use encode use cups use oggvorbis use opengl use ssl use pam use java So I guess here may be the problem. BTW I'm using portage-2.0.46-r12
grep '//' The output is done all at once. Pentium4 optimization messes with python a fair deal.
