After "emerge rsync" I tried to install curl, but it gives an error. It's interesting that the path in the ebuild itself points correctly to an .tar.bz2 file (so does the digest), while portage downloads an .tar.gz: # emerge curl Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) net-ftp/curl-7.9.7 to / >>> Downloading http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/curl-7.9.7.tar.gz --16:45:50-- http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/curl-7.9.7.tar.gz => `/usr/portage/distfiles/curl-7.9.7.tar.gz' Resolving www.ibiblio.org... done.

this should fix it rm /var/cache/edb/dep/net-ftp/curl*
