Description Sammy Pfeiffer 2019-12-09 06:00:31 UTC

Caught on the nightly builds of Gentoo Prefix (happening both in x64 and x86):

This effectively breaks the bootstrap of Gentoo Prefix.

On the process of bootstrapping Gentoo Prefix, on Stage 3, sys-devel/gettext is emerged. When in this step this happens:

It happens since this commit: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/diff/dev-python/setuptools/setuptools-42.0.2.ebuild?id=a1bfaee7c14eb122ba7d01e2907823d7988362e0

It has been building alright at least from December 2.


Reproducible: Always

Last night's CI passed. This may have been caused by some other package creating this problem I guess.
