While upgrading a system, I saw the following in the upgrade of portage: * Messages for package sys-apps/portage-2.1.6.13: * * In portage-2.1.6, the default behavior has changed for `emerge world` * and `emerge system` commands. These commands will reinstall all * packages from the given set unless an option such as --noreplace, * --update, or --newuse is specified. * * File collision protection is now enabled by default via make.globals * with FEATURES=protect-owned. If you want to disable collision * protection completely (not recommended), then you need to ensure * that neither protect-owned nor collision-protect are enabled. * * If you have overridden FETCHCOMMAND or RESUMECOMMAND variables, for * compatibility with EAPI 2, you must ensure that these variables * are written such that the downloaded file will be placed at * \"\${DISTDIR}/\${FILE}\". Refer to make.conf(5) for information * about FETCHCOMMAND and RESUMECOMMAND. Well, adding the "/\${FILE}\" to the end of the FETCHCOMMAND and RESUMECOMMAND as recommended in the output at the end of the portage emerge and the 'man 5 make.conf' breaks the pulling of the packages as it adds a directory of the same name as the package in the ${DISTDIR}.

New note: When trying to emerge java-config-2, it complained about not having the ${FILE} variable, then when putting that back in to see if I could get through an upgrade of gnome, I get the same error of: !!! The command specified in the FETCHCOMMAND variable appears to have !!! created a directory instead of a normal file.
With wget, you have to use the -O option. See /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example for a correct example. I guess the message should refer to that.
This is fixed now in the portage-2.1.6.13 ebuild in cvs. Thanks for reporting.
