That is what emerge sync displays: (I added a trace for the hostname) rsync.gentoo.org Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1786, in ? ip=socket.gethostbyname(hostname) socket.gaierror: (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution') I need to pass thru an HTTP proxy to connec to the net. It worked well but now I have these errors PS: I added "import socket" at the beginning of the file /usr/bin/emerge because I add this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1784, in ? ip=socket.gethostbyname(hostname) NameError: name 'socket' is not defined My version of portage is: 2.0.49-r17 The problem is only for emerge sync and I can emerge any package...

You can resolve DNS, correct? 'host www.gentoo.org' works on that box? Anything special about /etc/resolv.conf ? Empty?
nop. my /etc/resolv.conf : domain boost-domain nameserver 127.0.0.1 my nameserver (localhost) is an independent DNS server, it doesn't communicate with others. To access internet, I only have the proxy host: http://tania:4480 I think rsync doesn't use the proxy with this version. I believed proxy access doesn't need name server... only for the proxy host (winXP with AOL connection) thx for the help
ps: I back to version2.0.49-r15 and it work well with the proxy
I just added this line to /etc/resolv.conf: nameserver 192.168.0.83 // host 'tania' ip and It work well, but It takes some more time. I dont understand why with the last version it work without this line.... I will fix it in my network Thanks!!
ps: with 2.0.49-r17 version (i unmasked it manually)
it was fixed in cvs by carpaski
