Whois versions 4.7.36, 4.7.34 and 4.7.33 source files are no longer available at ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/w/whois/. Please upgrade to 5.0.2. Presently =net-misc/whois-4.7.36 fails to compile because of missing source file whois_4.7.36.tar.gz. Versions 4.7.33/34 source files are still available on some mirrors.
(In reply to comment #0) Version 4.7.36 source file is back in the tree. Thanks.
if your system doesnt check Gentoo mirrors, then it's misconfigured. every version works fine because of that.
5.0.2 now in the tree
