[Description Rabbe Fogelholm 2008-07-01 06:27:49 UTC]

While bootstrapping from scratch, during the second `emerge -e system' (code listing 1.19), the emerge of sys-devel/autoconf-2.62-r1 fails with this console output:

weird, the patch appears to be on the mirrors:
http://rsync1.prefix.freens.org/sys-devel/autoconf/files/

also it does unpack fine for me...
