The dowloaded binary data ( noncorrupted ) is reported as being of unknown format and is therefore not extracted properly to the temporary directory. All subsequent steps of the install fail. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download the indicated binary data file 2. Copy to /usr/portage/distfiles 3. emerge realplayer Actual Results: During the source unpacking, the 'unpack' program reports that the file to unpack is wrong format, and therefore does not unpack the said data. Expected Results: It should unpack the data so that the rest of the istallatio process succeeds. When running the binary file as a program installation works fine. However, the hacks that allow direct unpacking of the data seem to be faulty. I have verified that the file i provided is the one requested by comparing names, but I believe there is no binary verification made.
Perhaps a change of the line unpack ${RP8_BIN} to unpack ${RP8_BIN} || die would make the ebuild a little more userfriendly.
hmm, I just tried this and it worked fine... are you sure you downloaded the correct file? -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5.7M Apr 3 13:28 rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs2.bin

This bug happens because the strings in $A get transposed. See bug http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27968#c0
