Strange errors when trying to fetch glib-2.6.3.tar.bz2. One gentoo box reports: server glib # ebuild glib-2.6.3.ebuild fetch >>> Resuming download... >>> Downloading http://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/distfiles/glib-2.6.3.tar.bz2 [glib-2.6.3] bash: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `)' [glib-2.6.3] bash: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file This box has a custom DISTDIR entry in /etc/make.conf. Another box w/ default DISTDIR fetches glib-2.6.3.tar.bz2 as /usr/portage/distfilesglib-2.6.3.tar.bz2 (note the missing slash between distfiles and glib) but cannot find it then in the distfiles directory to continue processing. All other packages on these systems fetch successfully (in fact both systems completed 'emerge -uD world' today, successfully upgrading everything except glib). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. On box with custom DISTDIR, 'ebuild glib-2.6.3.ebuild fetch' results in failure. 2. On box w/o custom DISTDIR, 'ebuild glib-2.6.3.ebuild fetch' always downloads file as '/usr/portage/distfilesglib-2.6.3.tar.bz2' (note missing slash between distfiles and glib). 3. Actual Results: See details for output. Expected Results: Completed the fetch successfully, allowing emerge to compile/install the package. server glib # emerge info Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.3.5-20050130, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1, 2.6.10-nitro4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.10-nitro4 i686 Pentium III (Katmai) Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4-r1 [2.3.4 (#1, Feb 10 2005, 07:46:12)] distcc 2.16 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r7 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.10-r4 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /opt/resin/conf /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/bind /var/qmail/control /var/run/dspam /var/spool/dspam" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/home/ftp/mirrors/gentoo/dist" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distcc distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/ ftp:///ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://ftp-mirror.internap.com/pub/gentoo/ http://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo/ ftp://ftp-mirror.internap.com/pub/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j8" PKGDIR="/home/ftp/mirrors/gentoo/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X alsa apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzlib cdr crypt cups curl emboss encode exif fam foomaticdb fortran ftp gd gdbm gif gnutls gpm gtk gtk2 imlib java jikes jpeg junit kde kerberos libg++ libwww mad maildir mikmod mime mmap mmx mng motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses nls nptl ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl php pic png posix python qt quicktime readline sasl sdl shared sharedmem snmp sockets spell sse ssl svga sysvipc tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb vorbis xml2 xmms xv zlib" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS cornholio glib # emerge info Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.3.5-20050130, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1, 2.6.11.7-bridge i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11.7-bridge i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4-r1 [2.3.4 (#1, Mar 26 2005, 13:50:19)] distcc 2.16 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r7 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.14 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -pipe -mcpu=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/bind /var/qmail/control /var/run/dspam /var/spool/dspam" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -pipe -mcpu=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distcc distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/ ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://ftp-mirror.internap.com/pub/gentoo/ ftp://ftp-mirror.internap.com/pub/gentoo/ http://gentoo.binarycompass.org" MAKEOPTS="-j8" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://192.168.0.4/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X alsa apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzlib cdr crypt cups curl emboss encode exif fam foomaticdb fortran ftp gd gdbm gif gnutls gpm gtk gtk2 imlib java jikes jpeg kde kerberos libg++ libwww mad maildir mikmod mime mmap mmx mng motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses nls nptl ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl php pic png posix python qt quicktime readline sasl sdl shared sharedmem snmp sockets spell sse ssl svga sysvipc tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb vorbis xml2 xmms xv zlib" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
Adding an additional slash to the DISTDIR entry in /etc/make.conf resolves the download problem. On the box with a custom DISTDIR, I changed to: DISTDIR=/home/ftp/mirrors/gentoo/dist/ And the box w/o custom DISTDIR I set to: DISTDIR=/usr/portage/distfiles/ And both systems now fetch successfully.
Well figured out.
