When doing a emerge -u world, portage tries to upgrade binutils. While extracting the files, i get a message for every file saying that the time stamps are in the future:
<SNIP> tar: binutils-2.14.90.0.6/patches/libtool-dso.patch: time stamp 2003-08-21 11:28:48 is 1160710 s in the future tar: binutils-2.14.90.0.6/patches/demangler.patch: time stamp 2003-08-21 11:28:48 is 1160710 s in the future tar: binutils-2.14.90.0.6/patches: time stamp 2003-08-21 11:28:48 is 1160710 s in the future tar: binutils-2.14.90.0.6/binutils.spec: time stamp 2003-08-20 17:56:15 is 1097557 s in the future tar: binutils-2.14.90.0.6: time stamp 2003-08-21 11:29:32 is 1160754 s in the future </SNIP> Then it gets all recursive on me. It complains about the makefiles timestamp, then starts all over. Does anyone have any ideas on this..... should i change the date on my system to get this to intall?
