Hi

I have just installed gentoo 2005.1 and trying to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge --update --deep system to get my gentoo laptop updated, however it fails with the following error during the emerge...

.....no such file or directory udev-071.tar.bz2

I have checked the url on kernel.org and udev-071.tar.bz2 reports: the requested URL /pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev-071.tar.bz2 was not found on this server and does not exist on the other mirrors as well

Could someone please help me to workaround to get past this.

Machine Specs:
IBM Thinkpad T41
Kernel: 2.6.12r6 (genkernel)
make.conf flags: acpi aim alsa apache2 bash-completion bluetooth cdr cups divx4linux dvd evo fam ffmpeg ftp gd gnome gphoto2 gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal howl imagemagick imap innodb java javascript kde ldap maildir mailwrapper mbox mime mozilla msn mysql odbc ogg pcmcia pda php qt samba snmp sockets spell ssl truetype usb vcd vorbis wifi win32codecs xine xinerama X

Thanks, much appreciated.

don't use a system wide ~arch specification. use package-specific arch specifications in package.keywords instead.

your ebuild is probably masked.

Thanks for the link, I have tried the link, that file does not exist yet.

Could be its been blocked since I downloaded it, owing to current udev troubles..
I've just had to do a restore to get back on the air after installing 071 :-(

mvh

Just thought I would share the workaround I used:

The link to udev-071.tar.bz2 was not working, so I downloaded the udev-071.tar (no bz2 extension) which is still available from http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev-071.tar then:

bzip2 udev-071.tar --> would give you udev-071.tar.bz2

copy to /usr/portage/distfiles

emerge update and done...
