Created attachment 602780 [details] build.log I cannot emerge any ebuilds due to bzip2 errors. Although bzip2 is installed and the ebuild creates the image, it fails the final stage of installing the file in question. I'm providing the results for trying to install bzip2-1.0.6 itself, although the file I was trying to install when I discovered this problem was x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.6. I also get the messages PORTAGE_BZIP2_COMMAND setting is invalid: 'bzip2' PORTAGE_BZIP2_COMMAND setting from make.globals is invalid: 'bzip2' I've checked make.globals and the command is correctly entered there.

Thank you in advance!
Are you chrooted from arch or is this a fully booted gentoo just using an arch kernel?
'which bzip2' should point to /bin/bzip2. To get around the error installing bzip2, set PORTAGE_COMPRESS="xz" temporarily (this is for compressing the documentation)
from your emerge --info PORTAGE_BZIP2_COMMAND="busybox bzip2" try grepping around for how that got there
It is sad to read that you have problems with the software. The situation seems to be a bit more complicate and requires some analysis. We can not help you efficiently via bug tracker. The bug tracker aims rather on specific problems in .ebuilds and less on individual systems. I have had very good experience on the gentoo IRC [1] with questions like this. Of course there are also forums and mailing lists [2,3]. I hope you understand, that I will close the bug here therefore and wish you good luck on one of the mentioned channels [4]. Please reopen the ticket in order to provide an indication for an specific error in an ebuild or any gentoo related product.
