Hi, I am trying to install a Gentoo box from scratch and I cannot get over
a large package (kdebase):
[...]
./usr/share/pixmaps/kde2.xbm
./usr/share/pixmaps/splash2.png
>>> Done.
>>> extracting info
>>> extracting kdebase-3.2.0
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing.
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
!!! Error extracting /usr/portage/packages/All/kdebase-3.2.0.tbz2
This errors appeared on other large packages like xfree86 or kdelibs but
after a number of retries it worked. On this one, however, I am stuck :-(
I was trying in endless ways:
- with or without ccache
- with or without distcc
- with or without keepwork
- I re-emerged tar, bzip2, portage, ccache, distcc, etc.
- with or without --resume option for emerge
and I always had this problem right on the end
My wanna-be Linux box is an AMD Athlon 900 Mhz, 256 RAM, 1 GB swap. And it
is up to date except gcc and glibc, which are default on 1.4
>From what I see I concluded that kdebase was succesfully compiled and
there was an error when the ebuild was built.
Questions:
(1) Is there any way to resume emerge from this point, WITHOUT
uncompressing source again, compile it, linking it? (even with ccache it
takes few hours on my box to do all of this, I am already trying to slolve
this problems since few days for now, I am really upset but I want to go
on)
(2) It is possible to manually build ebuild file from this point?
(3) What the heck is wrong with tar/bzip2?
Few details about my Gentoo system so far:
