When I tried to install an already built package via emerge -k <packagename> I got the following errors: root@idoru:~# emerge -k kdeartwork Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1823, in ? mydepgraph=depgraph(myaction,myopts) File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 509, in __init__ portage.db["/"]["bintree"].populate() File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 3466, in populate mycat=mytbz2.getfile("CATEGORY") File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/xpak.py", line 183, in getfile self.scan() File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/xpak.py", line 161, in scan a.seek(-16,2) IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument This happens with other already built packages as well.

Some updates and a strange situation ;) I've recently tried to start xpdf which hasn't been in /usr/bin anymore..that's quite strange as I installed it yesterday and really didn't delete it by myself via "rm /usr/bin/xpdf" and all other files belonging to xpdf ;). So I did an "emerge -s xpdf" and portage told me that it'd be installed (which isn't the case); okey, "uninstalled" xpdf and remerged it. Now: After doing this I tried an "emerge -k kdeartwork" again and now everything's working again. I've absolutely no idea what could've caused this..just to let you know.
An additional data point: I tried "emerge -k" on my home setup (I use it on two machines to keep them synchronizedd with a 3rd machine), and it's working fine for me as well using portage-2.0.47-r10.
what filesystems?
Seemant: I'm using reiserfs.

Tony: please sync, try another rsync server
yeah, we know about this issue, and the next portage release will fix this,
Seems to be all cleared up.
original bug (emerging invalid binary pkg) is still broken ... fix is to check filesize before trying to seek back 16 bytes (which will fail if file is ... oh say less than 16 bytes :D)
Created attachment 15724 [details, diff] xpak.py.patch this will fix the error the user originally reported (if you make a binary file of <16 bytes you'll get that traceback)
Created attachment 15725 [details, diff] emerge.patch problem is that emerge never handles xpak.py failing ... this changes that ... probably should be done through raising errors except i have no idea how to do that :) this checks return values since thats what the rest of the scan() function did when it found errors ... returned 0 ...
I just tried to reproduce this bug with portage-2.0.49-r15, but couldn't. Portage did exactly the right thing. What I did: 0. I used a package which I didn't have installed. (lcrzo) 0.1 I installed a version older than the current stable version. 1. emerge -b /usr/portage/net-libs/lcrzo/lcrzo-4.16.0.ebuild -> built a package and installed it. 2. emerge -kp lcrzo --snip-snip-- These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild U ] net-libs/lcrzo-4.17.0 [4.16.0] --snip-snip-- 3. emerge -k lcrzo -> Fetched latest source and compiled it. So I presume this bug is fixed and can be closed?
AFAICS it's fixed.
