Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE    
Severity: normal

Description Terje Kvernes 2003-01-03 13:33:38 UTC
even if /usr/portage/packages/All/<foo> is available, portage will still look
for the source in /usr/portage/distfiles, and attempt a download if it isn't
there.  if the download is allowed to complete the package will be installed
without any building being done.
