This is not the only package to fail with this error...

[Comment 1 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) 2006-10-29 04:24:34 UTC]

recompile app-arch/tar with USE="-static" and it'll work

[Comment 2 Neil Stone 2006-10-29 08:05:27 UTC]

tar was compiled without "static" being set, in fact "emerge -pv tar" showed it with -static set...

I will let you know my progress (if any) after a recompile or tar, and re-trying vlc.

[Comment 3 Neil Stone 2006-10-29 08:12:42 UTC]

Same result i'm afraid...

[Comment 4 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) 2007-01-15 00:43:12 UTC]

app-arch/tar does not have a libary. libtar seems to come from the package dev-libs/libtar which has no amd64 keyword... or does yours come from some other package?

[Comment 5 Alexis Ballier 2007-02-04 11:21:53 UTC]

That's probably a dupe of  bug #154194

[Comment 6 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) 2007-02-04 12:07:27 UTC]

seems so indeed
