When emerge uses the Pacific Internet server, it seems to be downloading corrupted tars and causing errors either with unpacking or compillation. For instance, I received an error about the binutils tar.bz2 file being corrupted when emerge tried to unpack it. I have run memtest recently, but have not completely ruled out a hardware problem on my side. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Tried to install Gentoo from scratch using Pacific Internet's stage files and using their server as primary mirror. I have tried 1,2, and 3. 2. Used different stage files but still used Pacific as my mirror. Actual Results: Either failure to unpack the tar files, terminating the emerge, or failure compiling for various different reasons; sometimes segfaults, sometimes missing headers. Expected Results: Emerged propperly!
I discovered this was a hardware problem, so please disregard this.
