After a "successful" recent upgrade, portage/emerge does not play well with tar. emerge -aD world fails when tar bails out. Tar tzvf on the same package is ok. Same failure with: emerge -aD lsof My system has been stable up to this point. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge -aD world Actual Results: emerge -aD world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done!

can you do a manual tar xzf on /usr/portage/distfiles/httpd-2.0.52.tar.gz? looks like your tar is broken
I had mentioned that a manual tar worked. I have had a problem like this before, that of a signal problem between bash and the then latest glibc, and I tried the same solution again. I booted from a 2004-01 minimal install CD mounted the original system chrooted into the /mnt/gentoo area took out ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~amd64 from /etc/make.conf rebuilt bash back to version [2.05b-r11] (rebooted after this but the problem remained) rebuilt glibc back to [2.3.4.20041021]. After rebooting, all seems well, except firefox now says "no windows found", but hopefully that is not directly related. I suspect these recent packages: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~amd64 emerge -aD bash glibc These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild U ] app-shells/bash-3.0-r7 [2.05b-r11] [ebuild U ] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.4.20041102 [2.3.4.20041021] Do you want me to merge these packages? [Yes/No] At this point, my system seems to operate as before.
As there has been no recent activity on this bug I am closing it. If problems persist then please reopen this bug.
