[gentoo-dev] --buildpkg problem

[gentoo-dev] --buildpkg problem

[Grant Goodyear]

In building tiff w/ "emerge --buildpkg media-libs/tiff" I
get the following annoying portage error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/portage/bin/xpak", line 3, in ?
     import xpak
ImportError: No module named xpak
tbz2tool: inf.xpak doesn't exist
mv: cannot stat `tiff-3.5.6_beta-r1.tbz2': No such file or directory
>>> Done.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/emerge", line 525, in ?
    mydepgraph.merge(mydepgraph.altlist())
  File "/usr/sbin/emerge", line 188, in merge
    retval=portage.pkgmerge(mytbz2,myroot)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.0/site-packages/portage.py", line 2363, in pkgmerge
    mycat=xptbz2.getfile("CATEGORY")
  File "/usr/lib/python2.0/site-packages/xpak.py", line 182, in getfile
    self.scan()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.0/site-packages/xpak.py", line 159, in scan
    a=open(self.file,"r")
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/portage/packages/All/tiff-3.5.6_beta-r1.tbz2'

I've tried --buildpkg w/ other packages, and I get the same error.  I'm 
afraid that I don't have time today to dig through and find out why
xpak is missing.

[gentoo-dev] emerge PDL broken

I was emerging media-gfx/gimp, and it died on PDL:

any ideas on what is causing this? 

I'm running rc6, and I `emerge rsync`ed before I ran this.


Thanks!
