It looks like on my setup pango ebuild fails due to its inability to fetch packages: cronos ~ # emerge x11-libs/pango Calculating dependencies... done! >>> Emerging (1 of 1) x11-libs/pango-1.10.3 to / >>> checking ebuild checksums ;-) >>> checking auxfile checksums ;-) >>> checking miscfile checksums ;-) >>> Unpacking source... !!! ERROR: x11-libs/pango-1.10.3 failed. Call stack: ebuild.sh, line 1539: Called dyn_unpack ebuild.sh, line 711: Called src_unpack pango-1.10.3.ebuild, line 44: Called unpack '' ebuild.sh, line 355: Called die !!! Nothing passed to the 'unpack' command !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. There's no SRC_URI in the ebuild so I guess it gets packages from somewhere else (eclass maybe?). The problem is that with my setup it gets no file to download. cronos ~ # cat /etc/make.conf # These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically built this stage # Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" CXX="g++" MAKEOPTS="" USE="apache2 bidi divx4linux cairo dvd dvdread edl fame glitz java \ kdeenablefinal ldap live lzo mailbox mmx mmx2 noweb nptl nvidia ofx \ quotes spamassassin sse sse2 theora threads unicode vhosts win32codecs \ wxwindows xinetd xvmc -alsa -quicktime pang pangoo" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage.cronos" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/ http://mirror.uni-c.dk/pub/gentoo/ ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/" cronos ~ # emerge --info Portage 2.1-r1 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.6-r3, 2.6.16-gentoo-r9 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.16-gentoo-r9 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2800+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 ccache version 2.3 [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4, 2.4.2 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.3 dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.10 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.4.3-r4, 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/bind" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/ http://mirror.uni-c.dk/pub/gentoo/ ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage.cronos" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X apache2 apm arts avi berkdb bidi bitmap-fonts cairo cli crypt cups divx4linux dri dvd dvdread edl eds emboss encode fame foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif glitz gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imlib ipv6 isdnlog java jpeg kde kdeenablefinal ldap libg++ libwww live lzo mad mailbox mikmod mmx mmx2 motif mp3 mpeg ncurses nls noweb nptl nvidia ofx ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pang pangoo pcre pdflib perl png pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quotes readline reflection sdl session spamassassin spell spl sse sse2 ssl tcpd theora threads truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode vhosts vorbis win32codecs wxwindows xinetd xml2 xmms xorg xv xvmc zlib elibc_glibc kernel_linux userland_GNU" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS

It works fine for me. SRC you get from inherit gnome2 which get it from gnome.org.eclass. So check if your ebuild inherit gnome2, gnome2.eclass inherit gnome.org and gnome.org.eclass has defined SRC_URI.
My fault. I had an overlay with some eclasses in it.
