libconf.net is no more, maybe the project is dead? perl-Libconf-0.40.00.tar.bz2 is available on the Gentoo mirrors though. Please either remove the ebuild; or update SRC_URI's if you decide to keep it in the tree. (flagedit depends on this!) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
We are not removing ebuilds just because the homepage went 404. Reopen if you have a valid homepage or a better reason for removal.
Er, maybe I wasn't clear the first time. The home page doesn't 404; but leads to a rather different site than what was intended. Bottom-line is that the package is marked stable but cannot be emerged (because of a bad SRC_URI). I only suggested removal (since I believe the package to be dead upstream); fixing the SRC_URI is an equally good option too.
We are not removing something that fetches just fine and is not broken; thanks. $ emerge -f --nodeps =libconf-0.40.00 Calculating dependencies... done! >>> Emerging (1 of 1) dev-util/libconf-0.40.00 to / >>> Downloading 'ftp://ftp.sh.cvut.cz/MIRRORS/gentoo/distfiles/perl-Libconf-0.40.00.tar.bz2' --14:46:23-- ftp://ftp.sh.cvut.cz/MIRRORS/gentoo/distfiles/perl-Libconf-0.40.00.tar.bz2 => `/usr/portage/distfiles/perl-Libconf-0.40.00.tar.bz2' Resolving ftp.sh.cvut.cz... 147.32.127.222 Connecting to ftp.sh.cvut.cz|147.32.127.222|:21... connected.

Ugh, so go set GENTOO_MIRRORS like everyone else does? :X
Corrected the SRC_URI
