hi all,
after an "emerge sync; emerge -uv world" i got the following error
message:
---start---
>>> emerge (4 of 5) media-libs/xine-lib-1_rc2 to /
/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass: line 977: syntax
error near unexpected token `)'
/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass: line 977:
` gzip*)'
!!! ERROR: media-libs/xine-lib-1_rc2 failed.
!!! Function inherit, Line 1018, Exitcode 1
!!! died sourcing /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass in inherit()
---end---
i was able to fix this by inserting a line with ";;" in
[...]/eutils.eclass as line 977, so the part now looks like (see the
line starting with "####"):
---start---
case ${filetype} in
*tar\ archive)
tail -n +${skip} ${src} | tar -xf -
;;
bzip2*)
tail -n +${skip} ${src} | bzip2 -dc | tar -xf -
;;
#### ^^^ this is what i inserted!
gzip*)
tail -n +${skip} ${src} | tar -xzf -
;;
*)
false
;;
esac
---end---
i am quite new to gentoo (though not to linux) so i do not know if this
is a bug, if this is really the correct workaround and who and how to
tell about that! but maybe someone can profit from this and tell me if i
am right! ;-)
