Portage cannot unpack the dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin-1.7.0.51-r1:1.7 compressed binary file for some reason. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download the file from Oracle's website 2. Move file to /usr/portage/distfiles 3. watch the emerge fail Actual Results: Here is my build log from trying to emerge dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin-1.7.0.51-r1:1.7 on my amd64 system.

Make sure this hand-fetched file is readable by the 'portage' user. New portage enables 'userpriv' by default, and it will fail if this tarball is only readable by root. This has come up a lot lately on fetch-restricted pkgs.
