Bug 34467 – emerges fail with inherit error from eclass/eutils.eclass

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Bryan Whitehead 2003-11-26 14:24:50 UTC]

when I try to emerge magic I get this error:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) app-sci/magic-7.1-r2 to /
/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass: line 977: syntax error
near unexpected token `)'
/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass: line 977: `            
gzip*)'

!!! ERROR: app-sci/magic-7.1-r2 failed.
!!! Function inherit, Line 1018, Exitcode 1
!!! died sourcing /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass in inherit()

I have no problems emerging other applications.... so it might be something
within magic-7.1-r2.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge --sync
2.emerge magic

Actual Results:  
emerge fails

Expected Results:  
emerge completes.

I thought maybe I just got a bad mirror so I did a "emerge --sync" several times to make sure I got a good snapshot...

looks like /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass is missing a ;; on line 997

Should look like this:

                bzip2*)
                        tail -n +${skip} ${src} | bzip2 -dc | tar -xf -
                        ;;
                gzip*)

NOT like this:

                bzip2*)
                        tail -n +${skip} ${src} | bzip2 -dc | tar -xf -
                gzip*)

This bug is not magic's fault....
