hi all,
after an "emerge sync; emerge -uv world" i got the following error message:
---start---

---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! ;-)
