[gentoo-user] Fumblefingers corrupts an ebuild, plea for help

I thought I was just looking, but after closing the editor my emerges are
complaining about a corrupted ebuild of xchat. Specifically,

> calculating world dependencies -/usr/portage/net-irc/xchat/xchat-
2.4.5.ebuild: line 24: syntax error near unexpected token `>'
> /usr/portage/net-irc/xchat/xchat-2.4.5.ebuild: line 24: ` !xchatnogtk? (
>=x11-libs/gtk+-2.0.3 )'
>
> !!! ERROR: net-irc/xchat-2.4.5 failed.
> !!! Function , Line 1686, Exitcode 1
> !!! error sourcing ebuild
> !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status
message.

Clearly, I did this to myself. But now I don't know how to set it right. I
suspect
all the pieces are here, but a quick look at distfiles didn't even show that
version
of xchat, so I don't know how to proceed. The syntax of the offending line
looks enough like the ones around it that I can't intuit a quick edit fix.
Maybe somebody could email the correct ebuild, or quick instructions for
forcing a new unpack or whatever seems best?

While I'm here: the reason I was looking was that I was wondering what the
USE flags xchatdccserver, xchatnogtk and xchattext do, and was hoping the
ebuild itself might tell me. It didn't, or at least not very well.
Especially the
xchattext one.

OK, here's line 23-29 of my ebuild:

(piped to prevent Thunderbird freaking out; ignore the first "|" symbol)

|RDEPEND=">=dev-libs/glib-2.0.3
|        !xchatnogtk? ( >=x11-libs/gtk+-2.0.3 )
|        ssl? ( >=dev-libs/openssl-0.9.6d )
|        perl? ( >=dev-lang/perl-5.6.1 )
|        python? ( >=dev-lang/python-2.2 )
|        tcltk? ( dev-lang/tcl )
|        !net-irc/xchat-gnome"


Happens with editors; sometimes you get changed spacing or line wrap,
and it gets saved for some reason.

Hope this helps,
Holly

I put that in, but it made no difference (according to both diff and
emerge). So it must be something
else. Is there a way to force a fresh copy?

`emerge --sync' (which has already been suggested), or, since in this
case only a single ebuild is broken, www.gentoo-portage.com offers
ebuild downloads.

Sure. Delete the copy on your system and emerge sync to get a new one
from the portage tree. Or you could go through CVS (from the main Gentoo
page, choose the 'Browse our CVS" link, and browse to the correct
category and package name folders), and download the correct ebuild.

Try deleting the emerge then running emerge sync
