This morning gzip has been updated to 1.3.11. Afterwards no package with tar.gz source archives can't be installed. Unpacking them manually also doesn't work. gunzip produces high load, but doesn't unzip anything. Please revert back to the previous version (and provide a tar.bz2 archive :-)). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Exctract tar.gz archive after gzip-1.3.11 has been installed. Actual Results: Command hangs, produces high load, even for small archives. Expected Results: Archive should be unpacked.

I can confirm this - I suggest higher severity
why, no one reads severity anyways
Downgrading to 1.3.10 resolves the problem.
build up the gzip with debugging enabled and see where it hangs builds/runs fine on my amd64/x86 installs

is everyone here using paludis ?
Yep, I do.
(In reply to comment #7) > Yep, I do. So don't paste emerge --info next time, you are just confusing people. (And works just fine here w/ portage).
(In reply to comment #8) > (And works just fine here w/ portage). For that to be useful information, you'd also have to say whether it breaks for you with Paludis.
Breaks here to with paludis.
(In reply to comment #10) > Breaks here to with paludis. Which is all very well, but has anyone positively confirmed that it works with Portage but not Paludis on the same system with the same configuration?
Installing gzip-1.3.11 breaks only with paludis on my system. With portage-2.1.2-r8 it works. With paludis my /bin/gzip binary seems to consist of some lines of bash script with the real binary appended afterwards. I don't have the broken binary anymore since I already replaced it with another one to recover my system. paludis --info paludis 0.16.2 Built by root@ummon on 2007-01-28T18:38:03+0100 CXX: i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ 4.1.1 (Gentoo 4.1.1-r3) CXXFLAGS: -march=pentium3 -Os -pipe LDFLAGS: DATADIR: /usr/share LIBDIR: /usr/lib LIBEXECDIR: /usr/libexec SYSCONFDIR: /etc stdlib: GNU libstdc++ 20060524 libebt: 1.3.0 libwrapiter: 1.0.0 sandbox: enabled Repository virtuals: Configuration information: format: virtuals Repository installed_virtuals: Configuration information: format: installed_virtuals Repository gentoo: Configuration information: buildroot: /var/tmp/paludis cache: /usr/portage/metadata/cache distdir: /usr/portage/distfiles eclassdirs: /usr/portage/eclass format: ebuild location: /usr/portage names_cache: /usr/portage/.cache/names newsdir: /usr/portage/metadata/news pkgdir: /var/empty profiles: /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop root: / securitydir: /usr/portage/metadata/glsa setsdir: /usr/portage/sets sync: rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage sync_options: write_cache: /var/cache/paludis/metadata Package information: app-admin/eselect-compiler: (none) dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.31-r3 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: (none) dev-util/confcache: (none) sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.14 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.20 Variable information: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS: AUTOCLEAN: CBUILD: i686-pc-linux-gnu CFLAGS: -march=pentium3 -Os -pipe CHOST: i686-pc-linux-gnu CONFIG_PROTECT: /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK: /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash CTARGET: CXXFLAGS: -march=pentium3 -Os -pipe DISTDIR: /usr/portage/distfiles FEATURES: GENTOO_MIRRORS: INSTALL_MASK: LANG: LC_ALL: LDFLAGS: LINGUAS: MAKEOPTS: -j2 PKGDIR: PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS: PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS: PORTAGE_TMPDIR: /var/tmp/paludis PORTDIR: /usr/portage PORTDIR_OVERLAY: SYNC: USE: Repository installed: Configuration information: buildroot: /var/tmp/paludis format: vdb location: /var/db/pkg names_cache: /var/db/pkg/.cache/names provides_cache: /var/db/pkg/.cache/provides root: / world: /var/db/pkg/world Repository local: Configuration information: buildroot: /var/tmp/paludis cache: /var/empty distdir: /usr/portage/distfiles eclassdirs: /usr/portage/eclass format: ebuild location: /usr/local/portage names_cache: /usr/local/portage/.cache/names newsdir: /usr/local/portage/metadata/news pkgdir: /var/empty profiles: /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop root: / securitydir: /usr/local/portage/metadata/glsa setsdir: /usr/local/portage/sets sync: file:///usr/local/portage sync_options: write_cache: /var/cache/paludis/metadata Repository paludis-extras: Configuration information: buildroot: /var/tmp/paludis cache: /var/empty distdir: /usr/portage/distfiles eclassdirs: /usr/portage/eclass /usr/local/paludis-extras/eclass format: ebuild location: /usr/local/paludis-extras names_cache: /usr/local/paludis-extras/.cache/names newsdir: /usr/local/paludis-extras/metadata/news pkgdir: /var/empty profiles: /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop root: / securitydir: /usr/local/paludis-extras/metadata/glsa setsdir: /usr/local/paludis-extras/sets sync: rsync://drzile.dyndns.org/paludis-extras sync_options: write_cache: /var/cache/paludis/metadata

I can at least confirm that the resulting binary from downgrading to 1.3.10 using paludis works just fine (as it did before, when it was installed using portage). Please don't tell us that using another package manager breaks gzip.
If you set FEATURES=test and install it using Portage, it breaks in exactly the same way, right?
The lines in the gzip binary are: #!/bin/sh PATH=${GZIP_BINDIR-'/usr/bin'}:$PATH exec gzip -cd "$@" Could not reproduce this with "FEATURES=test emerge -va app-arch/gzip" But I too had problems to reproduce this using paludis. The first time simply rebuilding gzip with paludis everything worked fine only after downgrading gzip and upgrading again my gzip binary was broken again. So maybe it doesn't happen every time?

After that, I can also re-install gzip with paludis just fine, with and without SKIP_FUNCTIONS=test.
(In reply to comment #15) > If you set FEATURES=test and install it using Portage, it breaks in exactly the > same way, right? > No, it doesn't. It really seems to be a paludis issue. It happens when: 1) gzip 1.3.10 is installed 2) paludis is used for upgrading, no matter if SKIP_FUNCTIONS=test is set or not. It does not happen when 1) updating with emerge 2) re-installing 1.3.11 (with emerge or paludis).
Just ran into this bug myself. Downgrading to 1.3.10 fixed it.
Ok, I found it. Paludis has a weird bug involving overwriting stale symlinks with objects. 0.18.0, which will be out in a few hours, fixes this.
0.18.0 is in the tree; closing.
