After upgrading to kde 3.5.8, each time Ive tried to compress a folder I get an error that "the addition operation has failed". Tried numerous times to reemerge ark and the suggested ebuilds ark recommends when it merges but no success. Reproducible: Always
emerge --info missing. Also, what are you trying to compress?

When that failed I tried a small folder in my home directory, that also failed. The same thing occurs on three of my boxes, 2 x86 and 1 amd64. This was not happening before I upgraded to kde 3.5.8.
Problem is not in kde, its with tar, 1.19 is broken, downgrade to 1.18r2 and all is okay. Changing resolution on this bug and opening new bug for tar.

Err, tar works perfectly fine here, no idea what's ark doing.

I knew it had something to do with upgrading to 3.5.8. Tar 1.19 went stable and was updated a few weeks ago on all my machines. Theres no way I would have missed it. Now the question is ......Is there anyway to fix ark so that it will work with the new version? Or do we have to just use the 1.18 tar version for now?
You can just ignore the error message for now because the archive gets created regardless of the problem. I'll see if I can do something about fixing the message, though.
Archives were NOT getting created. This is a problem that does not have any easy resolution. The problem is in kde, not with gentoo. Would probably be helpful to change keywording on tar 1.19 to testing, at least until the problem is solved so that as more and more people upgrade kde they wont run into the same thing.
It's a bug in tar-1.19: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2007-12/msg00001.html Re-assigning to base-system.
thanks for the link, fixed in tar-1.19-r1 http://sources.gentoo.org/app-arch/tar/files/tar-1.19-update-flag.patch?rev=1.1
