Tried to download syslog-ng-2.0.3 from mirror.datapipe.net and received a 404 error. Portage also tried to download it directly from www.belabit.com (syslog-ng's home site) but the URL was wrong (missing /files/) Here's the output: >>> Emerging (3 of 3) app-admin/syslog-ng-2.0.3 to / >>> Downloading 'http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo/distfiles/syslog-ng-2.0.3.tar.gz' --15:24:42-- http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo/distfiles/syslog-ng-2.0.3.tar.gz => `/usr/portage/distfiles/syslog-ng-2.0.3.tar.gz' Resolving mirror.datapipe.net... 64.27.65.115 Connecting to mirror.datapipe.net|64.27.65.115|:80... connected.

There's no 2.0.3 in the tree any more. (Plus, the above are not Gentoo mirrors so nothing we could do there).
It seems my local mirror had stopped syncing against the gentoo rsync mirrors. Incidentally... Not sure what is meant by "not Gentoo mirrors" since it *is* listed on http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors.xml under "Datapipe Managed Hosting (USA/http)"
