[SOLVED]cloop emerge fails for stable 2.04 and unstable 2.05

[fatcop]

I am trying to emerge sys-fs/cloop on kernel 2.6.19-r5.

--- The stable 2.04 fails with this error:

!!! ERROR: sys-fs/cloop-2.04 failed.
Call stack:
ebuild.sh, line 1614: Called dyn_compile
ebuild.sh, line 971: Called qa_call 'src_compile'
environment, line 4023: Called src_compile
ebuild.sh, line 1304: Called linux-mod_src_compile
linux-mod.eclass, line 511: Called die

!!! Unable to make KVERSION=2.6.19-gentoo-r5 KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux all.


--- The unstable 2.05 has problems even downloading. It gets a hash error after trying many mirrors:


!!! Digest verification failed:
!!! /usr/portage/distfiles/cloop_2.05~20060829-1.tar.gz
!!! Reason: Failed on RMD160 verification
!!! Got: cd1ef95c7b56593fecfebd04611f20366dfe4dce
!!! Expected: 57d0c6df7e2de844faba8fc146d1ce4939c04c27

I am still getting these problems after about 12 hours.

Any ideas or should I raise a bug report immediately ?

You need to post the topmost error, not the summary at the bottom. Without it, it will be difficult for anyone to help you.

right you are! Didn't see it cause it way near start

Its pretty clear that compressed_loop.c is using a inode struct field i_blksize that is not in the inode struct (defined in include/linux/fs.h)

Perhaps this is something introduced into a later kernel version than I have.
I would have thought the ebuild would have alerted me that I need a later kernel if that was the case.
Rather unlikly a field was removed. More likely a complete typo, perhaps should be i_blkbits.
But no-one else seems to be having issues.

What do you think ?

Check bugs.gentoo.org for an existing bug and, if none found, create a new one. I think you are correct about kernel version possibly being a problem. I've seen posts about other ebuilds broken by new kernel structures.

thanks for your help.

Could not see any bug reports about these problems, so I have created 2 bug reports.
One for each cloop version issue:

2.04 - https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170833
2.05 - https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170834

I was able to resolve the issues with cloop-2.05 not downloading from mirrors.
See above bug report for cloop-2.05 for details.
The summary is a corrupt file mirror was causing the final package file to be corrupted.
Other people probably won't have the same problem I had with 2.05 because they might not have used the mirror I did.
This mirror was causing the problem: http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/gentoo/

Now the issue with cloop-2.04 is still not resolved. But it seems to be just a bad ebuild. ie. incompatible with certain kernels.
Emerging cloop-2.05 now works, so I consider this thread SOLVED.

cheers

I have the exact same error with cloop-2.04:
