Re: emerge gentoo-sources fails

 >assuming your doing the install in the chroot environment?
Yes.  The clock is right too.  (A flaky year seems to be a factory 
defect, but I digress...)

 >are you able to emerge any other sources?  e.g. vanilla-sources?
No.  I had tried gentoo-sources this morning from clean reinstall 
attempt.  That failed, so I emailed this list.  After the response, I 
tried emerge vanilla-sources.  Same result.  Then I tried emerge -tav 
vanilla-sources.
This put a lot of messages in the log.  It ended with:
--/usr/srce/linux-3.7.10/arch/m68k/kernel/
 >>>Failed to install sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-3.7.10, ...
Same result.

I looked at the log and there were one or two arches above m68k, but 
nothing after.  There was no arch/alpha, or even x86.  Looks suspicious. 
  Bad kernel source archive?

Adios,  DW
