Description Vince Verleye 2002-07-16 13:45:29 UTC

In the net-ftp package, the newly uploaded ftp-0.17-r1.ebuild seems to be 
missing the "./configure" file (or at least the error message prompts this, I 
think configure is there anyway). So the package will fail an emerge.

I experienced this while I was doing a fresh install of Gentoo on my box.
It failed at 'emerge system', which is quite annoying, because I didn't know 
what was going on. I never had an error before in any install of Gentoo ;)

Here's a modified ebuild that seemed to work, as found on [ 
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=8367 ]:
