file missing so emerge update won't finish...

Post #1 of 5 (689 views)

I have the following problem when I do a emerge -uD world. I get
the following error when it tries to remove sox. I checked the
media directory and the selected for removal file is not
there... Any ideas where I can get it as a sync did not seem to
get it...

emerge -uD world

media-sound/sox

The ebuild has a spurious character somewhere (probably a '^', where
there should be an EOL). Edit it in vim, or whatever.

locate sox-12.17.4-r2 on your system and copy it to the below path
(-r1). I had to do the same thing this morning
