OK, i got caught up in this little bug that has been passed around, and
now they want me to downgrade portage... and i would love to, but i get
this error when i try( and w/ some other packages as well):
>>> Unpacking source...

!!! ERROR: sys-apps/portage-2.0.48-r1 failed.
!!! Function unpack, Line 294, Exitcode 2

I tried whipping out the install cd, and doing it from in there, but no
luck, tried reemerging tar see if that helped, tried remergin bzip2(
and that just utterly failed).
Any ideas???
Thanks in advance,
bryce
