formally can't install xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1 after typing "emerge system" it compiles successfully xorg-x11, installs fonts etc., and writes: --- cut here------ + mkdir -p /var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1/image//etc/X11/rstart tar: ./rstartd.real: File shrank by 562949953353145 bytes; padding with zeros tar: ./rstartd.real: Wrote only 7168 of 10240 bytes and after that hangs... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge --sync 2. emerge --fetchonly system 3. emerge system Actual Results: The real size of rstartd.real is 12305158144 bytes (over 12Gb !!!???)
