I was trying to emerge portsentry. The first time I tried it spit out an error message due to compile-time errors. Second time (RIGHT AFTER THE FIRST!!!), everything's ok! Here's a cut'n'paste from the konsole... What kind of bug is THAT!?! Looks like a gcc bug, but... --- BEGIN --- darkcat root # emerge portsentry Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge net-analyzer/portsentry-1.1-r6 to / >>> Downloading http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/portsentry-1.1.tar.gz --23:28:52-- http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/portsentry-1.1.tar.gz => `/usr/portage/distfiles/portsentry-1.1.tar.gz' Resolving www.ibiblio.org... done.

Created attachment 2846 [details] Log of the strange behaviour
Sorry for the terrible layout: I created an attachment with a MUCH more readable textfile.
i dont know how much of a viable report this is ... simply because it doesnt appear to be reproducible ... could you try this and see if it dies again ? `rm -rf /var/tmp/portage/portsentry*` `emerge portsentry`
Couldn't reproduce the problem with SpanKY's instructions; it showed once by first unmerging portsentry. Now it seems to work everytime. :(
Matteo, so it works now?
It works, damn! :) I tried it again many times with --debug enabled but no results. So let's close the bug; if I manage to get something else I'll let you know.
