1 On a x86 machine running Linux version 2.6.20-gentoo-r6, I tried
2 emerge texlive-latexextra.
3 The response began with
4 [Errno 7] Argument list too long:
5 /bin/bash -c touch "/usr/portage/distfiles/.__portage_test_write__"
6 2>/dev/null ; rval=$? ; rm -f
7 "/usr/portage/distfiles/.__portage_test_write__" ; exit $rval
8 and ended with
9 /usr/bin/wget -t 5 -T 60 --passive-ftp -O
10 /usr/portage/distfiles/texlive-module-achemso-2008.tar.lzma
11 http://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo/distfiles/texlive-module-achemso-2008.tar.lzma
12 !!! Couldn't download 'texlive-module-achemso-2008.tar.lzma'. Aborting.
13 Doing "emerge -f texlive-latexextra" produced a similar failure.
14 A related problem was discussed at
15 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=262647
16 Although that bug is classified as "fixed", I'm still stuck.
17 Suggestions for emerging texlive-latexextra would be greatly appreciated.
