I can't reproduce this on a healthy prefix, only when setting up a new one. * Failed Patch: gawk-3.1.6-mint.patch ! * ( /home/olexa/prefix/usr/portage/sys-apps/gawk/files/gawk-3.1.6-mint.patch ) With the latest_tree argument even! bash-3.2$ cat usr/portage/metadata/timestamp Fri Feb 27 23:02:40 UTC 2009

this may be a `patch` problem :(
I have a positive feeling the DOS newlines in this file screw up the patching (older patch in use), as I've seen this happening before. Can close this if bootstrapping works with a snapshot after today.
(probably) fixed in new bootstrap image. I won't get to re-bootstrapping for a long while now.
