Description Simon 2003-07-26 11:04:53 UTC
Emerging any packet, during installation of files I always get this error:

>>> Done.
>>> extracting info
>>> extracting [packetname]
cat: write error: Broken pipe
>>> Merging [packetname] to /

(where [packetname] is the name of the package I'm emerging)

I use the buildpackage feature and wrapping the command cat I saw that the 
command is:

cat /usr/portage/packages/All/[packetname].tbz2

This problem seems not to damage the installation of the packet.
