Are you using a popular, common portage mirror or a custom or rarely used |
| 2 |
portage mirror? It's possible, though not likely, the portage mirror you're |
| 3 |
using is a very old, rarely updated mirror (read: 6 months, I just recently |
| 4 |
upgraded my 2.6.11-r6 kernel to the newest, 2.6.13-r3 kernel). do an emerge |
| 5 |
--search gentoo-sources. I assume you're using or attempting to use the |
| 6 |
gentoo-sources because you make no mention of the kernel variant. If you |
| 7 |
indeed to sync with an up-to-date portage mirror, your search results should |
| 8 |
return something similar to this: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
[ Results for search key : gentoo-sources ] |
| 11 |
[ Applications found : 1 ] |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
* sys-kernel/gentoo-sources |
| 14 |
Latest version available: 2.6.13-r3 |
| 15 |
Latest version installed: 2.6.13-r3 |
| 16 |

Latest version installed, however, will probably be different. I would also |
| 24 |
try emerging the sources manually by specifying the version: emerge -pv |
| 25 |
=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.13-r3 |
| 26 |
And see what happens. if it gives you an error saying there are no ebuilds |
| 27 |
to satisfy your request, then you have an out-of-date portage sync. |
