Emerging openoffice-ximian-bin-1.3.11 fails if app-arch/rpm is not installed on the system. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge openoffice-ximian-bin 2. 3. Actual Results: Portage is unable to extract the openoffice-rpm-file. Expected Results: Successfull installation.
Works flawless for me. rpm is not used for unpacking but rpm2targz. Also what is the exact error? And please always add the output of "emerge info" to a new bug. You might try to rebuild cpio and rmp2targz.
Sorry. When emerging openoffice-ximian-bin I got a "error, file not in gz-format"-message (several times, and I did redownload the rpm's). I then emerged app-arch/rpm (and some deps) and after that the emerge openoffice-ximian-bin worked so I assumed (yes, I know assumption is the mother of all fuckups :) that was the error. However, strangely enough emerging app-arch/rpm (or a package it depends on) fixed the problem for me.
No problem, closinf
