29 Hi,
30
31 As your error shows, the problem is wget is broken so you cannot
32 download anything using wget. If you can use another tool to FTP the
33 wget archive to /usr/portage/distfiles, or copy it from another
34 machine, then you should be able to rebuild wget and proceed with
35 emerging everything else. I ran into the same problem on my laptop a
36 while back.

38 There were lots of people who got bit by this, if you do some
39 searching on this list or on the forums, or this bug:
