Errors like this are sometimes normal with Gentoo. If you happen to |
| 15 |
emerge --sync in the middle of a server update, you may get some files |
| 16 |
that were updated, and others that were not. There is also the |
| 17 |
occasional bug that slips in but is quickly corrected. |
| 18 |

In almost all cases, the right thing to do is to wait about an hour, and |
| 20 |
run emerge --sync again. |

In this case, you might try "emerge --resume --skipfirst" to try and |
| 23 |
continue building the packages. But if the failing package is a |
| 24 |
dependancy, well, portage will try to build that again...so you will be |
| 25 |
back at the same spot. |

It has nothing to do with "GENTOO_MIRRORS" in /etc/make.conf...those are |
| 32 |
just used for downloading the source packages. If you get problems with |
| 33 |
the "fetch" stage of an emerge, then you need to check the mirrors again. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I am pretty sure that SYNC= (also in /etc/make.conf) should be left at |
| 36 |
"rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage", unless you have a very good |
| 37 |
reason to do otherwise. |
