Well, I think Mr. Dalek is entirely correct, this is the same problem. e2fsprogs-libs nowadays contains the com_err library, missing of which was (IIRC) causing problems with, e.g., wget in the olden days. Anyone know how the problem was actually fixed? Did they start linking wget statically? Or are we relying on portage's new tricks, like background downloading, which hides 99% of the problem under the rug, as you will very likely have the sources already downloaded during previous compiles? -- Arttu V.
