This morning I did a emerge --sync. After doing an "emerge -u world" I get a report like: >>> Fetching (1 of 136) dev-libs/expat-2.0.1-r1 >>> Downloading 'ftp://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/gentoo/distfiles/expat-2.0.1.tar.gz' unable to create the directory to store the config info in: Nincs ilyen fájl vagy könyvtár >>> Downloading 'ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/expat-2.0.1.tar.gz' unable to create the directory to store the config info in: Nincs ilyen fájl vagy könyvtár >>> Downloading 'ftp://gentoo.inf.elte.hu/distfiles/expat-2.0.1.tar.gz' The file is to be found at the location, using a browser. When the file is downloaded manually and placed in /usr/portage/distfiles the emerging for the component succeeds. The first problem was in the updating portage, which I updated by the above method. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge --sync (As of 5 of August 2008) 2.emerge portage 3. Actual Results: >> Building (1 of 1) dev-libs/expat-2.0.1-r1 >>> Downloading 'ftp://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/gentoo/distfiles/expat-2.0.1.tar.gz' unable to create the directory to store the config info in: Nincs ilyen fájl vagy könyvtár >>> Downloading 'ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/expat-2.0.1.tar.gz' unable to create the directory to store the config info in: No such file or directory Expected Results: Fetch the file and build and install the package
Please post your `emerge --info' too.

You appear to have FEATURES=userfetch, which means the portage:portage user downloads and stores files in </usr/portage/distfiles>. Does that user have write permission to that directory?
Interesting since the only FEATURES I enabled is metadata-transfer. I removed metadata-transfer from make.conf and still userfetch is there. Anyhow I did chmod a+xw /usr/portage/distfiles and I still have failure.
Found the problem. The format of the fetch command had to change. Masking out the fetch command in make.conf, and using wget, I can download.
Great, glad you found the problem.
Problem solved. Uptill now I used prozilla for download. Prozilla works but not if called from portage in the new portage. I eliminated prozilla, which is not supported, and use axel instead, which is, and portage works perfectly. Please close this bug.
