When I try to emerge Compress-Zlib-1.33 (dependency of amavis), it fails with a rather unspecified error. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge Compress-Zlib 2. 3.

Generally, I've seen that error message when the system clock was drasticly out of whack with reality (like, accidently too far into the future/past, making the dates on the extracted archive seem impossible). Don't suppose you can check your clock (silly, I know)?
No, the system clock is correct. It seems like there's something wrong with my perl install though.. I get the same error for all perl modules I try to emerge. Trying to remerge perl and see what happens.
Remerging perl and running the cleaner-script worked just wonderfully.
