File "libcap-2.22.tar.bz2" is absent on distfiles.gentoo.org (as well as other Gentoo mirrors). `www.kernel.org` reports 404 too, and {uk,us,at,fr,de}.gentoo.org hosts cannot be resolved. I could attach build.log file, but there's not much in it apart from what I've already said, and I can't get rid of ru_RU locale in it (wget seems to use system one no matter what I set for root or in /etc/portage/bashrc).
Can confirm it - I just stumbled on this: >>> Emerging (1 of 2) sys-libs/libcap-2.22 >>> Failed to emerge sys-libs/libcap-2.22, Log file: >>> '/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/libcap-2.22/temp/build.log' >>> Jobs: 0 of 2 complete, 1 failed Load avg: 0.06, 0.24, 0.31 --2011-11-02 08:29:07-- http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/gentoo/distfiles/libcap-2.22.tar.bz2 Resolving mirror.switch.ch... 130.59.10.36, 2001:620:0:8::20 Connecting to mirror.switch.ch|130.59.10.36|:80... connected.

It's avaliable here: http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/linux/libs/security/linux-privs/libcap2/libcap-2.22.tar.bz2
it's on some kernel.org mirrors, but not most. i've pushed it to the gentoo mirrors manually.
I just got this error on Nov 4, 2011. And lately I've been manually fetching a couple of files every time I update (once a week), which is quite annoying. Is there a way to fix this? Maybe I need to put more mirrors in make.conf. Right now I have this: GENTOO_MIRRORS="rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
The trouble is back as of 18/02/2013
