After compiling jpilot, the program fails when trying to install with the
following message:

I'm sorry, but what is happening is that the version of jpilot that is being cleaned failed to unmerge.  jpilot-0.99.5 installed fine but jpilot-0.99.3 failed to unmerge with the message above.

[Comment 2 Cletus Lichte 2003-04-11 17:43:36 UTC]

For some odd reason, after I deleted everything in /usr/portage/distfiles,  emerge  clean worked.  jpilot-0.99.3 has successfully been removed.

Need more information to investigate this...
Corruption is the only guess at the moment.

[Comment 4 Cletus Lichte 2003-11-20 01:42:44 UTC]

I think this can be closed now, I've not had any problems with any other versions of jpilot.
