Description Ed Suominen 2004-02-04 22:31:55 UTC

Emerge -u coreutils complained and crashed. I rebuilt the digest and proceeded to an error where /usr/portage/distfiles/coreutils-5.0.91-i18n-0.2.patch.gz wasn't a gzipped file. So I looked at it and, sure enough, it was plain text.

Got the ebuild to emerge successfully by doing this:

# gzip -c /usr/portage/distfiles/coreutils-5.0.91-i18n-0.2.patch.gz >tmp.gz
# mv tmp.gz /usr/portage/distfiles/coreutils-5.0.91-i18n-0.2.patch.gz

Has this happened again?

it exists correctly on the mirrors and the digest and the manifests, sounds like a freak accident.  Please reopen if it happens again.
