commons-httpclient fails as attempting to retrieve slot 0 commons-codec yet commons-codec (version 1.2 and 1.3-r2) resides in SLOTs 1.2 and 1.3.

There was a problem getting the classpath for commons-codec. !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. !!! When you file a bug report, please include the following information: GENTOO_VM=blackdown-jdk-1.4.2 CLASSPATH="" JAVA_HOME="/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03" JAVACFLAGS="-source 1.3 -target 1.3" COMPILER="" and of course, the output of emerge --info I believe this will be an easy fix, yet sadly I dont have any time to do the patch today. Will attempt this tomorrow if still open.
Sorry invalid bug as this was an issue relating to my environment.
