Can someone tell me how to get this comfounded konqueror/bugzilla duo to stop telling me that the 16k build log file I am trying to attach is NOT empty ? Buzilla keeps telling me that the 16k file I am trying to attach is empty, even if I move it out of the /vat/tmp/portage/net-misc/ntp-4.2.4_p7/ directory. I have tried adding it as a comment too but am just over the 16k limit.
Ok looks like the empty file syndrome may well be related to our office firewall... so I will post as a comment as much of the 16.7k build log that is relavent...

!!! Please attach the following file when seeking support: !!! /var/tmp/portage/net-misc/ntp-4.2.4_p7/work/ntp-4.2.4p7/config.log Please attach it. The empty file things sounds like a permission problem. Make sure your user can read the file.
I have already tried uploading said files without success - I suspect the office firewall is to blame. Is there another way I can send these files ?

Please run revdep-rebuild and try again.
currently am emerging open office 3.1.0.5 (patched last night) after this install I will run the above to rebuild library dependencies before trying again with ntp emerge. As soon as I get that done I will post back here with the results...
Ok that was a success, the revdep-rebuild took a long time to repair quite a few broken links but when it finished ntp installed without a hitch. Cheers Sebastian btw the open office 3.1.0.5 installed without a hitch too :-)
broken system -> invalid bug
