An attempt to emerge bogofilter fails repeatedly because the tarball cannot be unpacked. The download is strange - it fails on one mirror, then 'resumes" on another. The result is a file with inadequate permissions to allow unpacking. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rm /usr/portage/distfiles/bogofilter-0.8.0.tar.gz #if there is a broken file there. 2. emerge rsync - succeeds 3. emerge bogofilter Actual Results: root@triffid etc # emerge bogofilter Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) net-mail/bogofilter-0.8.0 to / >>> Downloading ftp://ftp.oregonstate.edu/pub/gentoo/distfiles/bogofilter-0.8.0.tar.gz --11:51:45-- ftp://ftp.oregonstate.edu/pub/gentoo/distfiles/bogofilter-0.8.0.tar.gz => `/usr/portage/distfiles/bogofilter-0.8.0.tar.gz' Resolving ftp.oregonstate.edu... done.

I experience the same permissions problem in every emerge where the distfile download gets interrupted. I suspect that the reasons are these: 1. wget stores the partly-downloaded file with "600" permissions. 2. When the download completes, the permissions remain the same. 3. Rick and I both have "userpriv usersandbox" in our FEATURES, so running-with-user-privileges portage cannot read - and, therefore, uncompress - the distfile.
should be fixed, reopen if not
Yes, works well now. Many thanks.
