Description David Watzke 2014-07-26 11:15:02 UTC
Hi, I've recently manually downloaded a tar.gz archive for oracle-jdk-bin package and placed it into the distfiles directory but it had wrong permissions and portage couldn't read it.

But from the error message portage printed it's unclear what the problem is:

>>> Unpacking jdk-7u65-linux-x64.tar.gz to /mnt/portage-tmp/portage/dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin-1.7.0.65/work
gzip: abort: read error on /mnt/portage-tmp/portage/dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin-1.7.0.65/distdir/jdk-7u65-linux-x64.tar.gz
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

Could you please add a file-readability check before trying to unpack the archive and handle this exception better?

Thanks!
