Hi, all.  I'm seeing the following error messages:

=====================================================
root@llama jim # emerge --pretend --update world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

====================================================

This error is showing up after a successful 'emerge --update --deep system'.

Hardware is a server with a dual Xeon Intel mobo with built in 1G/100M/10M NIC and Adaptec (Promise) SCSI controller.  Two 36 GB SCA SCSI drives.  Currently running 2.4.22 kernel.
Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-01-21 17:29:52 UTC
please `emerge sync` and try again

looks like the ebuild is incomplete (edit the file and see if it looks like it ends prematurely)
Comment 2 Jim Smilanich 2004-01-21 18:32:39 UTC
As requested, I just tried another 'emerge sync' then 'emerge --update world'.  I got the following results:

root@llama jim # emerge sync

could you post /usr/portage/media-gfx/bootsplash/bootsplash-0.6-r3.ebuild as an attachment please ?
perhaps even delete it and `emerge sync` again ...
Comment 4 Jim Smilanich 2004-01-21 18:42:10 UTC
Deleting the ebuild then 'emerge sync'ing again took care of the problem.  It completed successfully.

Thanks.
Comment 5 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-01-21 18:43:21 UTC
