Description Jeff Lapsley 2002-04-09 08:33:42 UTC

When trying to build KDE, one of the dependencies is the pilot-link package.  
When the process gets to this point, the pilot-link package is downloaded, but 
the system halts when it tries to extract it. It will not proceed at this point.

To verify the .tgz file integrity, I unpacked it manually and it seems to work 
properly. This being my first foray into Gentoo, I do not know anything about 
the .ebuild files to look for an error, or know if something on my end is not 
configured correctly, but since I am able to emerge other packages fine, it 
would appear to be a problem with the pilot-link package.

It certainly works here. 
 
Just how does the system halt? Can you abort emerge with ctrl+c? Or is it a lockup? 
Assuming it isn't, while emerge is halted, run top or some equivalent and look at what is using the 
cpu. Is it tar/gzip (which would make this case look like some sort of malformed untar command)? 
Anything else? Maybe there's an infinite loop somewhere (a semi-educated guess).
