Are these rights ok for directory "work" ?
I tried to modify it manually, but it is set back while resuming emerge.

I tested to extract myself the archive, and it was ok.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge glibmm

Expected Results:  
emerge succeeds

running a fresh install (~x86) with kde4

emerging glibmm was a asked dependencies for vmware-workstation but I guess the bug is not related to it.

tar-1.21? 

sorry for my english. i emerge tar-1.20 and fix this problem.(In reply to comment #0)

[Comment 2 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2008-12-28 08:36:17 UTC]

Confirming the bug.

@portage, `tar -xjf /usr/portage/distfiles/glibmm-2.18.1.tar.bz2` correctly extract the files from the tarball.

What could be going wrong here?

Thanks

[Comment 3 Zac Medico 2008-12-28 09:02:03 UTC]

It extracted successfully with tar-1.20 and after I upgrading to tar-1.21 it failed. It seems to be some sort of interaction between bzip2 and tar because bzip2's exit code is 141 and tar's exit code is 0:

$ bzip2 -dc $DISTDIR/glibmm-2.18.1.tar.bz2 | tar xof -
$ echo ${PIPESTATUS[@]}
141 0

[Comment 4 Zac Medico 2008-12-28 21:22:06 UTC]

Created attachment 176667 [details, diff]
revert the commit which removed sys_drain_input_pipe()

This patch seem to solve the problem be reverting the following commit:

2008-11-25  Sergey Poznyakoff  <[e-mail]>

	Do not try to drain the input pipe before closing the
	archive. 
	
	* src/buffer.c (close_archive): Remove call to
	sys_drain_input_pipe. Pass hit_eof as the second
	argument to sys_wait_for_child.
	* src/common.h (sys_drain_input_pipe): Remove
	(sys_wait_for_child): Declare second argument.
	* src/system.c (sys_drain_input_pipe): Remove.
	(sys_wait_for_child): Take two arguments. The second one helps to
	decide whether to tolerate child termination on SIGPIPE.

Patch for tar 1.21 is working. After applying this patch glibmm unpacked and compiled without problems.(In reply to comment #4)

[Comment 6 SpanKY 2008-12-29 10:03:46 UTC]

thanks Zac for figuring that out.  ive committed tar-1.21-r1 with that one change reverted and moved the issue upstream.
