I get something like the following message when I try:
emerge -K /usr/portage/distfiles/packages/all/filename.tbz2

error message:
!!! DATA CHUNK MISSING... (something else goes here) !!!!

I dont have the exact message because I am at work, I just have the above and I'm hoping thats enough info for someone to help me out

It looks like something to do with a patch. Are you trying to install a binary package? Maybe the patch statements in the ebuild aren't necessary since its compiled already.

I do not have dsl at home so I downloaded all of the emerge -up world files at work on a T3.. burnt them and took them home.

These files include gcc, perl, python, xfree and several others

make sure that all of your binary packages are in /usr/portage/packages/All
if the All is lowercase, it will not work.
