Why hard link in this archive get "tar: Skipping to next header". Archive gets broken? Other package are work properly, may simply not contain hard links? What should I do next to debug?
Maybe it's related to bug 338509. Please post emerge --info output, since we need at least the portage and python versions. Also, since python is slotted, it would be nice to know exactly which python version it's using. This can be somewhat tricky to confirm due to interaction with python3 and python2 flags, but the output of the following two commands should suffice: eselect python list head /usr/bin/emerge
This bug is related only to for python-2.6.4-r1 on some of my box. Upgrade python to last version on slot 2.6 solved this problem
I guess we could increase the python dependency for portage, but it seems that this bug it pretty difficult to trigger anyway, given that python-2.6.4 ebuilds are no longer in the tree.
