Bug 54072 – dev-db/postgresql-7.4.2 fails to emerge

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dieter Verfaillie 2004-06-16 04:21:29 UTC]

dev-db/postgresql-7.4.2 fails to emerge because it tries to get postgresql-base-7.4.2.tar.bz2 from the PostgreSQL-mirrors. Apparently, the directory /v7.4.2 on those mirrors has been removed (i did see a 7.4.3, but cant find an ebuild for that version of PostgreSQL).

I did locate the needed files (or files with the same name, I'm not sure and not going to test) in /source/v7.4.2/ on the PostgreSQL-mirrors.

Note: I did an emerge-webrsync just before trying to emerge PostgreSQL.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge dev-db/postgresql

Actual Results:  
in my case: 502 Proxy Error (No data record is available)

Expected Results:  
emerged PostgreSQL

Please fix this bug as soon as possible. This is critical.

[Comment 2 Dieter Verfaillie 2004-06-16 05:26:18 UTC]

Tested anyway ;-)

I just downloaded 
  - postgresql-base-7.4.2.tar.bz2,
  - postgresql-docs-7.4.2.tar.bz2 and
  - postgresql-opt-7.4.2.tar.bz2
from the /source/v7.4.2/ directory on a PostgreSQL-mirror manually
and placed them in /usr/portage/distfiles/
then emerged dev-db/postgresql.

These are the correct files as the md5 check passed and pg is
compiling as I type.

Hope this helps someone until the ebuild gets fixed :-)
