Thanks, Duncan. Yesterday I did eix-sync shortly before emerge --search |
| 16 |
portage. To see if a new portage version became available overnight, I |
| 17 |
just now did eix-sync and emerge --search portage. The results are the |
| 18 |
same; the latest version available version of sys-apps/portage is still |
| 19 |
listed as 2.1.6.11, which is the version I have installed. |

I attempted to manually download the source file, and place it in |
| 22 |
distfiles, and then run emerge. Specifically, I downloaded |
| 23 |
texlive-module-collection-latexextra-2008.tar.lzma from |
| 24 |
http://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/linux/gentoo/distfiles/?C=N%3BO=D |
| 25 |
and placed the file in /usr/portage/distfiles. Then I did "emerge |
| 26 |
texlive-latexextra". The response stated with |
| 27 |
>>> Verifying ebuild manifests |
| 28 |
>>> Emerging (1 of 1) dev-texlive/texlive-latexextra-2008-r1 |
| 29 |
[Errno 7] Argument list too long: |

/bin/bash -c touch "/usr/portage/distfiles/.__portage_test_write__" |
| 31 |
2>/dev/null ; rval=$? ; rm -f |
| 32 |
"/usr/portage/distfiles/.__portage_test_write__" ; exit $rval |
| 33 |
and ended with |
| 34 |

Unsure what to try next, I'd appreciate any suggestions. |
