[gentoo-user] sys-libs/db-4.7.25_p4 fetch failure

[Maxim Wexler]

Hi group

There was a hitch in the latest #emerge -uDN world.

Here's the details:

http://pastebin.com/m4726a7e3

Appears to be some kind of bug:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=285324

Anybody else had this problem? How should I proceed?

Maxim

a) not use pastebin, but post the messages in your email?

b) wait a couple of hours, emerge --sync and retry?

Attach them as plain text or gzipped.

If they are too HUGE for that then you're prolly doing something wrong.

Screenshots should, IMO, be hosted somewhere rather than attached.

Stroller.

LOL I thought I was being a good citizen by using pastebin after being
chastised in another  forum for *not* using it.

Note to self: no more pastebin.

it depends - but pastebin has a lot of disadvantages. People might search the 
ml in a couple of month, read your mail - and the pastebin links are dead. Not 
very helpfull for them.

And that is almost as bad as someone saying they got it fixed and not
telling HOW they fixed it.  Just leaves everyone else to figure it out
for themselves.
