This is a new install. After a few monthes of running the server. I decided to put a desktop environment on the computer. I ran: emerge gnome my USE variables are: USE="X gtk gnome alsa -qt -arts -kde" other ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" The error produced by the emerge gnome was with applying the patch to pango 1.4.1 Here is what was displayed: >>> emerge (13 of 146) x11-libs/pango-1.4.1 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) pango-1.4.1.tar.bz2 >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking pango-1.4.1.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/pango-1.4.1/work * Applying pango-1.0.99.020606-xfonts.patch... * Failed Patch: pango-1.0.99.020606-xfonts.patch! * * Include in your bugreport the contents of: * * /var/tmp/portage/pango-1.4.1/temp/pango-1.0.99.020606-xfonts.patch-10723.out !!!

Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. I have just a basic install. I was using it for some perl and c programming. I did not change any other config files. One thing to note. on pango1.4.1 its appears that the patch being applied is for pango 1.0.99 (IE. Failed Patch: pango-1.0.99.020606-xfonts.patch!)
yeah that doesn't matter... i think the file is just corrupted on your machine. Can you check the patch you have vs. the one in viewcvs (on gentoo.org) ? Or just a sync alone might fix it.
Thanks. That was it. the sync never fixed it. I downloaded the file.emerge gnome. Everything is good. Sorry to waste your time. Should have gotten that one..
