I wonder if it is the case that debianutils-3.2.3 has been removed from Debian repositories, while portage (stable) still depends on version 3.2.3? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. make sure sys-apps/debianutils is not in any /etc/portage/package.* file 2. make sure no debianutils distfiles present 2. emerge debianutils Actual Results: the source cannot be downloaded Expected Results: successful emerge I was able to emerge version 3.4, by adding a line "sys-apps/debianutils" in /etc/portage/package.keywords. My `emerge --info' is: Portage 2.1.8.3 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.4.3, glibc-2.11.2-r0, 2.6.34-gentoo-r1 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.34-gentoo-r1-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_T7500_@_2.20GHz-with-gentoo-1.12.13 Timestamp of tree: Sun, 19 Sep 2010 08:35:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.0_p37 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.11 dev-lang/python: 2.6.5-r99, 3.1.2-r4 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.1-r2 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.13 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.6-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.65-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r3, 1.10.3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 3.4.6-r2, 4.3.4, 4.4.3-r2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6b sys-devel/make: 3.81-r2 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.35 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="*" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests distlocks fixpackages news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.mdfnet.se/mirror/gentoo" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/var/lib/layman/voip /var/lib/layman/kvm /var/lib/layman/kde-sunset /var/lib/layman/sunrise /var/lib/layman/sage-on-gentoo /usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://viveka/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl acpi alsa amd64 berkdb branding bzip2 cairo canon cdr cli consolekit corefonts cracklib crypt cups cxx dbus dri dts dvd dvdr emacs emboss encode exif fam firefox flac gdbm gif gpm gtk hal iconv java jpeg lcms libmms libnotify mad mikmod mmx mng modules mp3 mp4 mpeg mplayer mudflap multilib ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp pam pango pcre pdf perl png ppds pppd python qt3support qt4 readline reflection sdl session spell sse sse2 ssl startup-notification subversion svg sysfs tcpd tiff truetype unicode usb vorbis x264 xcb xft xine xml xorg xulrunner xv xvid xvmc zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cgi cgid dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia vesa vga" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
It makes no difference whatsoever if file is removed from upstream site (Debian mirrors in this case) because the file will still be in Gentoo mirrors. That's why we have the mirroring system in the first place. Only reason it would fail, would be invalid mirror settings in your make.conf So closing as invalid, fix your make.conf
My setting in /etc/make.conf is GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.mdfnet.se/mirror/gentoo" which is one of the servers listed on http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors2.xml I'll change it and see if it helps.
I made an automated mirror search, which came up with GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.tiscali.nl/ http://gentoo.mneisen.org/ http://gentoo.supp.name/ http://de-mirror.org/distro/gentoo/" - having these in /etc/make.conf I can now emerge stable debianutils-3.2.3. Thanks for pointing me to a solution!
