Description Michal Januszewski (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-10-04 18:36:22 UTC
It appears that app-arch/rpm is necessary to extract the RPM file used in the current version of ifc.  An attempt to emerge ifc on a system without app-arch/rpm fails with:

>>> Unpacking l_fc_p_10.1.018_intel64.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/ifc-10.1.018/work

It seems you hit bug #235290 / bug #235514.
Please update your tree and cache and let me know. It works perfectly without app-arch/rpm here.

Indeed, apparently a reinstall of rpm2targz fixed the problem.  Thanks!
