The svgalib_helper download link in the ebuild file is incorrect and does not point to any valid file. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE="svga" emerge -v mplayer 2. 3. Actual Results: >>> Unpacking svgalib_helper-1.9.17-mplayer.tar.bz2 to /portage.tmp/portage/media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20100427/work bzip2: /portage.tmp/portage/media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20100427/distdir/svgalib_helper-1.9.17-mplayer.tar.bz2 is not a bzip2 file. tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors * ERROR: media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20100427 failed: * failure unpacking svgalib_helper-1.9.17-mplayer.tar.bz2 The svgalib_helper file contains: If you are not automatically redirected, click <a href="design7/news.html">this link to our news page</a>. This bug is similar to Bug 279883, however I could not get the fix to work. After downloading manually and changing the manifest file, it seemed to want the .gz file as well: >>> Unpacking mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20100427.tar.bz2 to /portage.tmp/portage/media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20100427/work >>> Unpacking svgalib_helper-1.9.17-mplayer.tar.bz2 to /portage.tmp/portage/media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20100427/work >>> Unpacking svgalib_helper-1.9.17-mplayer.tar.gz to /portage.tmp/portage/media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20100427/work
ah, finally a clear bug report about this. :) there was a typo in the ebuild, fixed now, thanks
