Problem: sys-apps/portage-3.0.36 has an issue with binary hosts Detail information: When a binary file is pulled, it creates two files one is the original file with the proper date from the web server and the correct file size. The second file that is created is a Zero sized file with the current time stamp. Example: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 438862 Oct 3 15:12 nfs-utils-2.6.1-1.xpak -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 3 18:56 nfs-utils-2.6.1-2.xpak After the initial emerge any other emerge will provide warnings that the file is corrupt and needs to be deleted. This is for every file that gets emerged (binary). Solution: - Upgrade to sys-apps/portage-3.0.37 Recommendation: - Mask the sys-apps/portage-3.0.36 as it will create a lot of confusion and problems for our users who also use binhosts.
