Just distroyed my portage (don't worry got it back again). But portage-rescue-1.8.19.tar.bz2 is corrupt (trailing stuff) Maybe because it was not put into CVS with the -kb flag set?
For Drobbins - this is not a bug, the message about corrupt data is just bzip complaining about the meta-data at the end of the tarball. At least, tbz2tool is able to extract data from it. portage-rescue-* should probably be a normal tarball, no?
it's a portage package and that's ok.
