20 Well, this was a weird situation for me as well; I had just started an
21 emerge -uaDtv world at around 2am, despite the fact that I have the
22 cronjob updating Portage at 3am.
23
24 When I got up, the emerge had stopped at package 4 of 10 (howl), with
25 the error you note. Fortunately, the reason I had started the emerge so
26 late--
27 the upgrade to xorg-- had at least completed. And since the emerge had
28 stopped, the cron job had run. I then ran emerge --resume (in the hopes
29 that the sync had fixed the error), and sure enough, howl emerged
30 without problems (as did the rest of the sync, except mc, which seems to
31 dislike the samba use flag all of a sudden. But that's a different
32 issue, and documented on b.g.o, so easily solved).
33
34 So I could only think that the sync fixed it-- maybe your mirrors take a
35 little longer to update than mine did.
