After emerging app-arch/libarchive-3.2.1-r4, most emerges and re-emerge libarchive end up with message like this:

Comment 2 Johan Hattne 2016-08-05 15:44:30 UTC
It appears /usr/bin/bsdcat, to which /usr/bin/cat symlinks, differs from standard cat in the way it handles single-dash arguments.  For instance

  $ echo "foo" > /tmp/foo
  $ echo "bar" > /tmp/bar
  $ /usr/bin/bsdcat /tmp/foo | /usr/bin/bsdcat - /tmp/bar
  bar
  $ /usr/bin/bsdcat /tmp/foo | /usr/bin/bsdcat /tmp/bar -
  bar
  bsdcat: -: Failed to open '-'

I would have expected the pipes to output "foo\nbar" and "bar\nfoo", respectively.

From a quick glance at the source, I get the impression this is the intended behavior.  At least, fixing bsdcat so that it behaves like standard cat appears to involve more than a few one-line changes to bsdcat's option parser.

If the way bsdcat handles stdin is intentional, it cannot be used as a replacement for standard cat.  I would then think that the proper fix is to omit installing the /usr/bin/cat -> /usr/bin/bsdcat symbolic link. 

libarchive-3.1.2-r5 did not provide bsdcat and that's why downgrading works.

Thanks for the update.  I left a revision up for a couple of weeks that didn't have bsdcat, just in case there were any issues, and then moved ahead, but I guess we were lacking on testing during that time period.  For the time being, let's just remove the bsdcat symlink while we work with upstream to investigate the differences/impact it has.
Comment 4 Adam Feldman gentoo-dev 2016-08-05 18:35:25 UTC
Alright, -r5 doesn't create the bsdcat symlink.  I'll see if I can reach out to upstream to inquire about the compatibility issues.
Comment 5 Lars Isakson 2016-08-06 19:55:07 UTC
Thank you, everything builds fine now!
