Through continued support from Sun Microsystems and their most excellent Academic Excellence Grant Program, GTlib has expanded again. Disk space is now provided by a 4TB StorEdge 3511 SATA disk array. Three front end servers provide http, ftp and rsync services, while a fourth acts as a file server. All four machines are SunFire v20z's with AMD Opteron processors running Linux. Through contributions from GT-RNOC, we have also expanded network capacity. All servers now have gigabit links to the campus backbone as well as a private gigabit network for NFS. Please do not use the old names ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu, www.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu, ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu or rsync.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu as they are now depricated and may cease to exist. The new names for GTlib services are www.gtlib.gatech.edu, ftp.gtlib.gatech.edu and rsync.gtlib.gatech.edu. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- GEORGIA TECH SOFTWARE LIBRARY Unauthorized use is prohibited.

Your SYNC variable /etc/make.conf is wrong SYNC="rsync://rsync.gtlib.gatech.edu/gentoo" should be SYNC="rsync://rsync.gtlib.gatech.edu/gentoo-portage"
Looks good to me, could have just been a race condition.
Yep - that got it! I can't believe I was overlooking something that simple. I guess that's why I'm a n00b. Anyway, thanks Robert for your quick reply. Sorry to waste time with a false bug report. Scott.
Many users copy/paste their rsync URLs from the official Gentoo site and their mirror list into their make.conf (Been there, done that). Thus, in order to kill this issue permanently, the URLs in the mirror list needs to be updated and kept updated on a more regular basis. Secondly, the error presented may seem a bit cryptic to beginners since it is only a matter of an erroneous path name. Perhaps a clarification is in order like: "Path rsync://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo/" not found." (Yes, this one is a live erroneous URL).
