Subject: [gentoo-dev] rsync portage problem?
Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2002 16:30:20

1 Thursday (the 22d of August) I had no problems using 'emerge rsync' while
2 learning how to install gentoo.
3
4 Today, I get the following:
5 =====
6 (none) / # emerge rsync
7 >>> Note: /etc/make.profile isn't available; an 'emerge sync' will probably
8 fix this.
9 >>> starting rsync with rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage...
10 rsync: getaddrinfo: rsync.gentoo.org 873: Temporary failure in name
11 resolution
12 rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(97)
13 =====
14
15 This occurs on the new system I'm setting up, and on the system I began
16 Thursday which had been connecting just fine.
17
18 Just to make certain, I began pinging "rsync.gentoo.org", and found that about
19 half the sites gave me no response. I used two IP addresses instead of name
20 and got a similar error:
21 =====
22 (none) / # emerge rsync
23 >>> starting rsync with rsync://212.224.22.34/gentoo-portage...
24 rsync: failed to connect to 212.224.22.34: Network is unreachable
25 rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(97)
26 =====
27
28 So the question is whether I've erred somewhere (perhaps needing to recheck my
29 nameservers) - and if so what do I need to fix - or is it a server problem on
30 your side and I just have to wait?

32 Thank you,
