It also doesn't fetch anything, I don't have a single kde-i18n* in 
/usr/portage/distfiles. 
 
Same is true for 3.2.0_beta1. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
see above. 
Actual Results:  
An empty package was emerged. 

Expected Results:  
Install german translations for KDE 3.1.4 (or 3.2.0_beta1).

Looks like a possible regression in portage -r15, as I am having trouble now with the linguas stuff as well.  Will investigate.

[Comment 2 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2003-12-23 07:08:07 UTC]

works now - you may need to "touch" the ebuild file to get portage to not use the cache.

[Comment 3 Dirk Heinrichs 2004-01-05 04:03:03 UTC]

Not for me. Did emerge-webrsync, emerge -DUu world today, which installed portage -r20, then again tried "LINGUAS=de emerge kde-i18n" after touch'ing the kde-i18n ebuilds, but the results are the same, empty packages for both 3.1.4 and 3.2.0_beta2.

[Comment 4 Dirk Heinrichs 2004-02-13 02:17:07 UTC]

Got portage 2.0.50-r1 with a world update yesterday, which fixed the issue for me.
