now in portage, thanks for the heads up !
I have been trying to update this package since it was released and I keep getting the same error. I have also tried to sync portage a couple of times as well thinking that there was an error that got fixed in the ebuild but have not found that to be the case. Here is the error I am getting: >>> Emerging (1 of 12) sys-libs/timezone-data-2006g to / >>> Downloading 'ftp://ftp.utexas.edu/gentoo/distfiles/tzdata2006g.tar.gz' --08:15:11-- ftp://ftp.utexas.edu/gentoo/distfiles/tzdata2006g.tar.gz => `/usr/portage/distfiles/tzdata2006g.tar.gz' Resolving ftp.utexas.edu... 146.6.54.21 Connecting to ftp.utexas.edu|146.6.54.21|:21... connected.

(In reply to comment #2) > I have been trying to update this package since it was released Why don't you try the lastest version: sys-libs/timezone-data-2006n. It is much more up to date and it's working (I have it installed in several desktops and servers right now). Just include the following line in /etc/portage/package.keywords: =sys-libs/timezone-data-2006n ~x86
