Unfortunately I can't say for sure which version of portage broke it, but I remember that some of the portage-2.2_rc8x still worked. After downgrading to that, emerge --sync worked again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Actual Results: Error message: !!! getaddrinfo failed for '[fe80': [Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution rsync: failed to connect to fe80::2%eth1: Network is unreachable (101) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(122) [Receiver=3.0.7] !!!

Disregard that, the issue somehow fixed itself and its working now. Sorry to have bothered you.
