[gentoo-user] xextproto download madness

2006-06-30 Thread Ryan Sims 

This is odd:

   The file is already fully retrieved; nothing to do.

!!! Couldn't download xextproto-7.0.2.tar.bz2. Aborting.
Error in sys.exitfunc:


I find it strange that emerge can say fully retrieved, nothing to do
and Couldn't download in the same breath.  I've tried a few things
like cleaning out distfiles and downloading the file manually, I can't
seem to make portage happy.  Also tried turning off parallel-fetching,
but that only got rid of the sys.exitfunc error.   Help?

Delete the file from $DISTDIR (/usr/portage/distfiles) if it is there, 
emerge --sync and try again.

Shouldn't be necessary.

Well, that worked.  Any thoughts about what happened?  Or is it just
one of the great ineffables.

Upstream probably changed the tarball without making a proper revision bump. 
The developer who commited a change to the ebuild had the old version in his 
$DISTDIR and didn't remove and refetch before digesting. I blame 
upstream... ;)
