[gentoo-user] problem with dump

[gentoo-user] problem with dump

[Allan Gottlieb]

I noticed that the last two (daily) dumps have been bad (too short,
unreadable by restore).

I tried to remerge app-arch/dump both 0.4.44-r1 (which I had before)
and o.4.44.  Both failed in the compile phase (details below).
This seem a little frightening to me.  Can someone tell me what has
happened

thanks,
allan

When I try to install it, I get the same problem. I guess somethings in
one of the header files it delivers has been changed in the recent
update of ext2fsprogs-libs from 1.41.14 to 1.42_pre0702. That was two
days ago, so might this be the reason for dump failing in the first place?

You could try to downgrade ext2fsprogs-libs, but don't unmerge it first,
I think this will break all sorts of things.

Someone should report a bug... if noone volunteers, I'll do this myself
some time tomorrow.

Thanks I just submitted 381835.  I wasn't sure of the etiquette do did
not mention your name in regards to ext2fsprogs-libs.

I feel much relieved after reading your (extremely prompt) reply.
Thank you.
