got the following when building stage2 (emerge system) on my sparc64 machine (1.0 profile), tried remerging it on my already running x86 machine (1.2 profile) same result. In both the sparc and intel cases, this is a blocker because it's in the dafault make.profile/packages file therefore anyone performing a stage2 install should encounter it. # emerge netkit-telnetd Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge net-misc/netkit-telnetd-0.17-r3 to / >>> md5 ;-) netkit-telnet-0.17.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking netkit-telnet-0.17.tar.gz patching file telnet/main.cc patching file telnet/Makefile patching file telnet/netlink.cc patching file telnet/network.cc Hunk #1 succeeded at 37 with fuzz 2. patching file telnet/terminal.cc patching file telnet/utilities.cc patching file telnetd/Makefile >>> Source unpacked.

hmm, perhaps 'blocker' isn't right now I see it shows up all in red.. :) Change that if you feel it's inappropriate. Also added this workaround for any one new to gentoo building today. nano -w /etc/make.profile/packages comment out the "netkit-telnetd" line. eg. "#*net-misc/netkit-telnetd" funny thing is, this was already installed on my x86 box, no problem so "what else has changed?" - portage bug??
according to the forums another rsync should resolve this sorry for the spam. ref: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=12058
