Description Rick Harris 2003-12-05 04:09:25 UTC
The problem lies in non-existant packages.
MY_PV=3.1.94
SRC_URI="mirror://kde/unstable/${MY_PV}/src/${PN}-${MY_PV}.tar.bz2"
However, /3.1.94/ directory does not exist on KDE's site or any of it's mirror sites.
This causes a download failure at the most basic level.
Possible resolution:
Unless KDE has only just changed there directory tree layout, then testing of ebuilds before submitting them to the portage tree would perhaps be a good idea :)

Please feel free to correct me if I have missed something obvious.

Cheers,
Rick

It's not yet been released to the general public - it will be very soon now.
