I'm having this very problem with blackdown-jar-1.4.2.01-r1. This bug was opened last December, but it's now April, and I'm having the problem again. I've re-synced and tried again (before I got here, actually). It didn't work. What causes this?
Having the same problem with -r1 and can't find any CVS log entry for 1.4.2.01 of 2004-12-23 - what's happening here?
lets see some 'emerge info' from ppl still having this problem and the env vars you have, and the exact ebuild you tried with and version of tar/bzip
