Description Paolo Barile 2011-01-04 10:37:01 UTC
For every kde-related package I emerge, I read the message:

"tar extract command failed at least partially - continuing anyway",

but, then everything seems going fine.
Druring the archive unpacking I can read that some CMAKE relate files could not be find: ConfigureChecks.cmake, config.h.cmake, NEWS, ChangeLog, cmake/modules, cmake/CMakeLists.txt.
But after then, as I said, the emerging goes fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge some kde-related package.
2. Read messages during the source archive unpacking
3. Read the summary of messages at the end of emerging.




I run KDE 4.4.5.

Portage 2.1.9.25 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/kde, gcc-4.4.4, glibc-2.11.2-r3, 2.6.36-gentoo-r5 x86_64)

yes, we used to redirect the output of the tar command to /dev/null but now we print an ewarn instead

So is it normal to see this message at *every* kde package?
And so won't you do anything for it?
But, if it is normal that tar doesn't find theese files, why would we have this warning?
And if it is safe to ignore it, can we do anything to hide this horrible warning?
Thank you in advance for explanations.
